jolene (new string version)
dolly parton
please don't take him just because you can
your beauty is beyond compare
with flamin' 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
i cannot compete with you
but he talks about you in his sleep
and there's nothin' i can do to keep
from cryin' when he calls your name
how you could easily take my man
but you don't know what he means to me
please don't take him just because you can
you could have your choice of men
but i could never love again
i had to have this talk with you
my happiness depends on you
whatever you decide to do
please don't take him just because you can
