Jolene Songtext
von Susanna and the Magical Orchestra

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.

He talks about you in his sleep and
There′s nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name, Jolene.

And I can easily understand,
How you could easily take my man,
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene.


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.

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,
My happiness depends on you.
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene.

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
