Jolene

5^th July 2024

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can

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

And four more eyes of burning red
And more besides, I'm filled with dread
How many pairs of eyes you have, Jolene

He talks about you in his sleep
There's nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name, Jolene

Your smile is something to behold
So many teeth, and depths untold
Behind those gentle lips you hold, Jolene

And I can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene

With stature of a giantess
We really would have no redress
Should you decide to take my beau, Jolene

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can

You could have your choice of men
But I could never love again
He's the only one for me, Jolene

I see you have a deadly grip
With talons on each fingertip
Your graceful arms both metres long, Jolene

I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene

Are those wings sprouting from your back?
And did your tail make that whip-crack?
Please don't prepare for the attack, Jolene

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him even though you can
