Don't know where to start with todays offerings the first by Mindy Smith and the second by The White Stripes. There's the fact I nearly loathe Dolly Parton's version of this song. My odd history with J named women. The fact that I really love these covers of Jolene in their own right and nearly everything else each has done. Also, true too- each of the covers are so different from each other and the original. Enjoy and sing along.
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,
JoleneHe 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,
JoleneJolene, 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
