Jolene Songtext
von The Sisters of Mercy

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

Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of golden 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

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
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

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


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

Please don′t take him just because you can
