If you would've told me that I would post not one, but two Dolly Parton songs on this blog within a month of each other, I would've thought you were delusional. I mean, I like Dolly (she loves roller coasters, too!), but I've never been a huge fan of country music in general. I've heard this song a few times before, but I recently heard it again on an episode of Glee and for a few days afterwards I couldn't get it out of my head.
"Jolene" is such a sad song. The singer is begging Jolene, a beauty who can have any man she wants, not to take her man. Just take a look at the lyrics below...they fit well into the Glee episode where the, ahem, husky woman football coach sang to Sue not to take the one guy she ever really loved. Sniff, sniff. Great song!
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
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
And there's nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name, Jolene
But I can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me, 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 had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, 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
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
Jolene, Jolene
