►LYRICS - 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

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
And there's nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name, Jolene

Now 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

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 just because you can [x2]

Please don't take him even though you can
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

Albums: Live Sessions, vol. 01 and Finally Going Home

[AneBanane]

Mom ruling the bass. Just as Moms do. Doing the invisible work. Version of the song brought tears to my eyes. Awesome version.

[aussieevonne]

Tha mama in the back on the bass. I see you. Solid work there. Class.

[huntercarey]

Mama is back there killing the bass ❤️

[compenseitor]

In a live chat that you did a few days ago, I wrote "regrets from Chile", because my command of the English language is very fragile and I wanted to write "greetings from Chile". My name is Diego, I'm from a small city in the south of Chile, Valdivia, and you are on all my playlists. A hug from distance

[verdoemme]

I have only one criticism here: The girl who sings has absolutely nothing to fear from Jolene 🥰

[gunkanjima]

The fella on the dobro has some serious skills

[billywulf]

My family can’t even sit in the same room

[percival]

Mom in the back, giving up the spotlight, keeping everyone together, as a good momma should. Beautiful.

[BrodyMcCain]

Dolly would have to be proud if she saw this.

What precision.

[simpleman]

To the Mom, I can only imagine how proud you are. You guys sound Great.

[QUIXU]

It's always a pleasure to see an entire family "playing-together" especially like this.

[frogbear]

nashville should be out there finding people like this and letting them do their thing, rather than picking people out of hollywood and telling them how to best imitate pop.

[kevinl]

Glad to see bluegrass is alive and well among young folk. I love it👏❗️

[niekvanwensen]

The guitar guy in the back has the exact same facial expressions as Elvis Presley

[thull]

This is just perfection. From the arrangement, to the perfect time and driving rhythm, the reprise, instrumental solos, and lead and harmony vocals. The slide guitar riffs are just amazing. The mix is just right too. Perfection. Hats off to you for an amazing performance of a great classic song.

[ancientwisdom]

With our future so uncertain, it's great to see families keeping Bluegrass Music alive and thriving!!!

[logannewman]

I've got really good headphones and when mom drops the bass it's epic.

[johnl]

Mexican dude here. This is not my style of music and I dont know how I got here but I'm glad I did. The talent of these folks is undeniable.

[beckynelson]

Some of the loveliest harmonies come from family collaboration.This family plays beautifully and they sing so well together.❤
