Jolene

Dolly Parton / Dolly Parton: Jolene (1973)

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

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

You could have your choice of men

But I could never love again

Hes 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
