[Chorus]
Jolene, Jolene
, Jolene, Jole
ne
I beg of thee,
pray take not
my lord
Jolene, Jolene
, Jolene, Jole
ne
I fear from th
ee, ‘twould ta
ke naught but
a word
[Verse 1]
Thy beauty is
beyond compare
With flaming l
ocks of auburn
hair
With ivory ski
n and eyes of
emerald green
Thy smile is l
ike a breath o
f Spring
Thy voice is s
oft like Summe
r rain
And I cannot c
ompete with th
ee, Jolene
He talketh of
thee in his sl
eep
And alas I can
not keep
From weeping w
hen I hear thy
name, Jolеne
Although it is
so plain to s
ee
How little he
doth mеan to t
hee
My love for hi
m is endeless
as the sea
[Chorus]
Jolene, Jolene
, Jolene, Jole
ne
I beg of thee,
pray take not
my lord
Jolene, Jolene
, Jolene, Jole
ne
I fear from th
ee, ‘twould ta
ke naught but
a word
[Verse 2]
Thou couldst h
ave thy choice
of men
But I could ne
ver love again
He is the only
one for me, J
olene
I would risk b
oth life and l
imb
To spend my on
ly days with h
im
My happiness i
s at thy whim,
Jolene
