I heard dolly said Jolene trying to hit her with her own wig cause Dolly trying to prevent Jolene from stealing her husband so I don't think she actually likes Jolene when that girl actually trying to kill Dolly tho lol
I definitely feel the feels in this but as I'm getting older I understand that if a man doesn't want to be kept by you he will find someone else.. and that has nothing to do with you as a person.. it's their own thoughts and feelings. So..if a man can "be taken from you" he was never right for you. That's a personal problem for him not you.
Thank you so much. Being up until early morning with multiple thoughts in my head and this one comment helped calm my mind. You wrote it so simply and man did it make an impact on me.

Dear reader, I don't know you and you don't know me. Probably we are not even living in the same country. We look different. We speak different languages. Maybe we are from entirely different generations. We are just complete strangers. But there is something that connects us. We both have great taste in music Thank you for being here. God bless you, whoever you are.
I remember listening to this in the car with my mom, screaming it. It felt so good, even though I was young and had no idea what the lyrics meant. Just the beat hit me hard
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene I beg of thee, pray take not my lord Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene I fear, from thee, ‘twould take naught but a word Thy beauty is beyond compare With flaming locks of auburn hair With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green Thy smile is like a breath of Spring Thy voice is soft like Summer rain And I cannot compete with thee Jolene He talketh of thee in his sleep And alas, I cannot keep From weeping when I hear thy name Jolene Although it is so plain to see How little he doth mean to thee My love for him is boundless as the sea Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene I beg of thee, oh please take not my lord Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene I fear, from you, ‘twould take naught but a word Thou couldst have thy choice of men But I could never love again He is the only one for me Jolene I would risk both life and limb To spend my only days with him My happiness is at thy whim, Jolene Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene I beg of thee, pray take not my lord Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene I fear, from thee, ‘twould take naught but a word
*This music just makes my head swing in every direction. This is real country! It is slow, sorrow and can be happy sometime too :) I used to look at a videos likes and dislikes and sometimes I saw country music classics had no dislikes. I was surprise but I really do understand why no one hates this music ; it's insanely relaxing :)*
Such a great and timless song from Dolly. Listening to it again I'm surprised it wasn't a bigger crossover hit for her. Her vocals and the wonderful guitar work made for a perfect pop song as well as a country song. Perhaps if they took away the fiddle and steel guitar it may have had a bigger appeal to pop listeners back in 1974.
I literally watched a RU-vid short of dolly explain the meaning of this song . About a red headed lady at a bank 'taking care' of her husband and yeaaaa
Listening to this song that I listened to when I was a child but now I can speak English I never understood how sad yet beautiful this song actually is.
I remember this song my favorite by Dolly Parton as a young girl I remember this song I have been in this place I hope no one judges me I could compete with her beauty so I could understand why she could so easily take my man but she don't know what he means to me I
My friend worked with me and sing this song to me. She is in heaven. So this song is my favorite. Thank you God for my friendship with my friend.❤❤🙏👍🤟🙏👍🤟😭😍🥰
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 And 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 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
Lost my ex in a restraining order, the judge was beautiful and she took him from me, I didn't know I could mess up so bad. He was the love of my life. This makes me cry
If he was the love of your life, he wouldn’t have left you. He was a dirtbag man that deserves nothing but the worst. Take some time for yourself, and go date a religious person next time, as they tend to be much nicer
When I was 12 I babysit a 2 year old who couldn't pronounce my she would call me Jolene my sister would sing this to me when I got home and I'd get mad she died shortly after and I wish she was still to pick on me
What a society we live in even though the man was the one doing wrong because if a man could be taken from you than he was never yours but still the woman suffer
For some reason this song sounds like “talking about how beautiful Jolene is” and then dolly’s is like oh wait this song is about my man….I totally forgot Not a bad thing it’s just funny
How times have changed. Today, 50 years after this song was released, any self-respecting woman would say: "Ok hubby, you prefer someone else? Well goodbye and good riddance, then!"
Theres a girl in my class named Jolene in my class and almost every time we have a sub they start singing this song and the rest of the class joins in- its the best, she hates it :))
when i hear this song, i close my eyes and imagine that i am in the 70', driving a white huge cadillac of that time on an endless road of USA. It is nearly the same with rose garden by lynn anderson or with hurricane by dylan. from france
