Dolly Parton - Jolene

Lyrics

[Guitar Intro]

[Chorus]
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm beggin' of you, please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
He talks about you in his sleep
And there's nothin' I can do to keep
From cryin' 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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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

Songwriters: Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton is undoubtedly an artist who put her stamp on traditional country, and "Jolene" is one of the best country songs ever. Dolly Parton said she was inspired to write "Jolene" by a bank clerk who flirted with her husband Carl Dean the time they were newly married. She also said that the name of the song was based on the fan's name. In fact, "Jolene" is a clear expression of her insecurity about how fragile love is, and positioning herself in this way lyrically adds strength to the song. It is a very tender song but a powerful expression of the feelings of those who do not want to lose their lover.

On stage in 1988, Dolly Parton told the audience that "Jolene" was a true story and why she didn't like to sing the song very often.

Additionally, "Jolene" has been covered by many artists, including Miley Cyrus, Beyoncé, Olivia Newton-John, and The White Stripes.

Miley Cyrus - The Backyard Sessions - Jolene

Beyoncé - Jolene

Pentatonix & Dolly Parton - Jolene

Among those who covered "Jolene" after Dolly Parton, I can say that I liked Miley Cyrus' performance the most, she really sings country music perfectly.

I liked the original version of Jolene by Dolly Parton better than Miley or Beyonce. Will have to listen to the other versions one of these days.

It's the first time I see Jolene song, so I hadn't no idea...but here I see the mentioning of Pentatonix I appreciate cause their Christmas albums. Here one of my favorite:


If I don't mistake, I first had listened this Christmas song on Pride and prejudice (1995 serie, the most near version of P&p to aunt Jane's book😂), while Mary Bennet was playing the piano at Lucas Lodge. Surprise, this Christmas song finds also in my Methodist hymnary music book, so now I can play it with my violin🐣

The song's timeless themes of love, jealousy, and heartbreak are universal.

Congratulations @imfarhad! Count me in for another round, please! Thank you so very much!

While I've heard this song before, I think via Beyoncé, I didn't know that Dolly Parton was the artist that originally sang it. While I usually don't like songs that are focused on jealousy and such, I do rather like the sound of this song. Beyoncé's version is most divergent, but also quite good, as is Miley Cyrus' version. 😁🙏💚✨🤙
