Jolene Songtext / Lyric

(dolly parton)



Chorus:

Jolene, jolene

Jolene, jolene

I'm beggin' of you

Please don't take my man

Jolene, jolene

Jolene, jolene

Please don't take him

Even though you can



Your beauty is beyond compare

With flaming locks of auburn hair

With ivory skin

And eyes of emerald green

He talks about you in his sleep

There's nothing I can do to keep from cryin'

When he calls your name jolene



Repeat chorus






Well you can 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

My happiness depends on you

And whatever you decide to do jolene



Repeat chorus



Jolene

Jolene

Jolene



Ya know I've met dolly parton,

And I'm glad to say that we're pretty good friends.

I've met loretta lynn and tammy wynette, brenda lee.

A lot of people who have influenced me.

Other folks like merle haggard george jones and

Ray price. it really upsets me cause I didn't get to meet a lot of the

People who did influence me, like I never got to meet bob wills

And I never got to meet this next lady I'm gonna tell you about.

The only way I can tell you about her now,

Is the way I learned about her the best is through her songs.
