To Dolly Parton “Jolene”

R

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene 
I’m begging of you please don’t take my love 
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene 
One if us four muss nun gehn

1

Your beauty is beyond compare 
With flaming locks of auburn hair 
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green

R

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene 
I’m begging of you please don’t take my love 
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene 
Two if us four müssen nun gehn

2

Your smile is like a breath of spring 
Your voice is soft like summer rain 
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene

R

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene 
I’m begging of you please don’t take my love 
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene 
Three of us four müssen nun gehn

3

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

R

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene 
I’m begging of you please don’t take my love 
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene 
Four if us four müssen nun gehn

4

And I can easily understand 
How you could easily take my love 
But you don’t know what she means to me, Jolene

R

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene 
I’m begging of you please don’t take my love 
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene 
Please don’t take her just because you can

5

You could have your choice of loves 
But I could never love again 
It’s the only love for me, Jolene

R

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene 
I’m begging of you please don’t take my love 
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene 
Five of us four müssen nun gehn

6

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

R

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene 
I’m begging of you please don’t take my love 
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene 
Please don’t take her even though you can 

Fine

Jolene, Jolene
