Jolene
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 amber 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
And I can easily understand how you can 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
Oh! Please, don't take him
Just because you can
Now, 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, Jolene, Jolene...
