Tekst :

Chorus:
Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene, i m beggin of you, please don t take my man

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
And i can not compete with you, jolene
He talks about you in his sleep, and there s nothing i can do to keep
From cryin when he calls your name, jolene
And i can easily understand how you can easy take my man
But you don t know what it means to me, jolene

Chorus

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
Whatever you decide to do, jolene
Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene, i m beggin of you, please don t take my man
Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene, please don t take him, even though you can

(Big balls in cowtown, yeah)
(Come on fiddle, yeah)

Workin on the railroad
Sleepin on the ground
Eatin saltine crackers
Ten cents a pound
Big Ball s in Cowtown
We ll all go down
Big Ball s in Cowtown
We ll dance around
(Ehhhh, come in momma, the hog s done got me)

(Mind if I sing one...

Ever since I was a kid
I remember having dreams of grandeur
I was gonna be someone, I know what I want

Everybody played second best
And I held you back just like all the rest
I think I got what I want

Everybody...

With a mind that s sick and crazy
Put together like a baby in a fist fight
Here comes an angel flying
Like a moth to a backyard bug-light

One mind two hearts somehow got torn apart and healed
But never grew together

Mein tag

Dieser Tag ist wunderbar
und mit uns beiden ist alles klar
die Sonne scheint, der Motor schnurrt
und an der Scheibe surrt eine Hummel
deshalb bummel ich nicht und dreh sie herunter
damit das Tier seine Freiheit so geniessen kann wie ich
denn mich...

All worked out

She s got it all worked out in her mind
And you re part of the plan
And you don t have the final word

She s got a long head start on your brain
And your heart is afraid
And you don t...
