Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm warning you, you shouldn't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
You shouldn't take him just because you can

A man whose wife is recent dead,
He thought he'd have you in my stead -
But there is more to us than you have seen.
You're pretty with your auburn hair
And green eyes – but why should I care?
You've stolen my beloved from me, Jolene.

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene…

My corpse is dead, I'm stiff and chill,
You're alive and breathing still
But that could yet be changed, you know, Jolene.
And I'm pressed hard to understand
How easily you could take my man;
He loved me more than life itself, Jolene.

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene…

You can have your choice of men,
But he should not have loved again;
He is mine and mine alone, Jolene.
So save all that you still can save
For I'll be rising from the grave
And you had best be gone by then, Jolene.
