[Chorus: Damiano David & Dolly Parton]
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene (Jolene)
I'm beggin' of you, please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can

[Verse 1: Damiano David & Dolly Parton]
Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair (Jolene)
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 compеte with you, Jolene (Jolеne)

[Verse 2: Damiano David & Dolly Parton]
He talks about you in his sleep
And there's nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name, Jolene (Jolene, hey, hey)
And I can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene (Don't take him)

[Chorus: Damiano David, Both & Dolly Parton]
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you, please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can (Don't take him)

[Verse 3: Damiano David & Dolly Parton]
You could have your choice of men
But I could never love again
He's the only one for me, Jolene (He's the only one)
I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene

[Chorus: Both, Damiano David & Dolly Parton]
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you, please don't take my man (Don't take him, don't take him, don't take him)
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can (Just because you can)
Jolene, Jolene (Please don't take him, please don't take him, Jolene)
Jolene

[Outro: Dolly Parton]
Jolene, Jolene
He's the only one for me
Jolene
Jolene, Jolene
Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
