Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Jolene Jolene Jolene

Jolene Jolene

I'm begging of you

Please don't take my man

Jolene Jolene Jolene

Jolene Jolene

Please don't take him

Just because you can

Your beauty is beyond compare

With flaming locks of auburn hair

With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green

Your smile is like a breath of spring

Your voice is soft like summer rain

And I cannot compete with you Jolene

I had to have this talk with you

My happiness depends on you

And whatever you decide to do Jolene

Jolene Jolene Jolene

Jolene Jolene

I'm begging of you please don't take my man

...

Now I can easily understand

How you could easily take my man

But you don't know what he means to me Jolene

Well you could have your choice of men

But I could never love again

...

He's the only one for me Jolene

I had to have this talk with you

Cause my happiness depends on you

And whatever you decide to do Jolene

Jolene Jolene Jolene

Jolene Jolene

I'm begging of you please don't take my man

Jolene Jolene Jolene

Jolene Jolene

Please don't take him even though you can
