Candi Staton - Jolene Lyrics

Candi Staton Lyrics

"Jolene"
(originally by Dolly Parton)

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm telling you, don't you take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm warning you, don't you take my man

Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of blonde 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 just won't compete with you, Jolene

He talks about you in his sleep
There's nothin' I can do to keep
From cryin' when he calls your name, Jolene
And I could easily understand
How you could want to take my man
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm telling you, don't you take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm warning you, don't you take my man

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
Whatever you decide to do, Jolene

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm telling you, don't you take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Don't you take him, that I just won't stand

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm telling you, don't you take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm warning you, don't you take my man

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm telling you, don't you take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Don't you take him, that I just won't stand
