Lyrics:

(Jolene)
(Jolene)

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Im warnin you, dont come for my man (Jolene)
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Dont take the chance because you think you can

Youre beautiful beyond compare
Takes more than beauty and seductive stares
To come between a family and a happy man
Jolene, Im a woman too
The games youre play are nothing new
So you dont want no heat with me, Jolene
We been deep in love for twenty years
I raised that man, I raised his kids
I know my man better than he knows himself (uh, what?)
I can easily understand why youre attracted to my man
But you dont want this smoke
So shoot your shot with someone else (you heard me)

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Im warnin you, woman, find you your own man
Jolene, I know Im a queen, Jolene
Im still a Creole banjee bitch from Louisiana (dont try me)

Theres a thousand girls in every room
That act as desperate as you do
You a bird, go on and sing your tune, Jolene (what?)
I had to have this talk with you
Cause I hate to have to act a fool
Your peace depends on how you move, Jolene

Me and my man crossed those valleys
Highs and lows and everything between
Good deeds roll in like tumbling weeds
I sleep good happy cause you cant dig up our planted seeds
I know my mans gon stand by me breathing in my gentle breeze (ah)

I crossed those valleys
Highs and lows and everything between
Good deeds roll in like tumbling weeds
Sleep good and happy cause you cant dig up them planted seeds
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Ima stand by her, she gon stand by me, Jolene

Ima stand by him, he gon stand by me
(Ima stand by her, she gon stand by me)
Ima stand by him, he gon stand by me, Jolene
