Annotationen

Das herzergreifend schöne Lied einer Frau, die gegen ihre Kontrahentin keine Chance hat. Jolene ist so wunderschön, gegen sie kommt sie nicht auf. Und dennoch bittet sie Jolene von ihrem Mann zu lassen: «Du kannst doch jeden haben», sagt sie ihr, «aber für mich gibt es nur ihn».
Der Song wurde für die Netflix-Serie Dolly Parton's Heartstrings dramatisiert: Dolly Parton's Heartstrings 1: Jolene.

Lyrics

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 There's nothing I can do to keep From crying when he calls your name, Jolene And 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 even though you can Jolene, Jolene
