Jolene Lyrics

JOLENE

Chorus: 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 golden 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

There's nothing I can do to keep

From crying when he calls your name Jolene

And I can easily understand

How you can easily take my man

But you don't know what he means to me jolene

chorus

Well you could have your choice of men

But I could never love again

He's the only one for me jolene

I have to have this talk with you

My happiness depends on you

Whatever you decide to do

Jolene

chorus -etc

EMMA

We were together since we were five

She was so pretty

Emma was a star in everyone's eyes

And when she said she'd be a movie queen

Nobody laughed

With her face like an angel

She could be anything

CHORUS

Emmaline

Emma

Emmaline

I'm gonna write your name high on the silver screen

Emmaline

Emma

Emmaline

I'm gonna make you the biggest star this world has everseen

At seventeen

We were wed

And I worked hard to earn our daily bread

And evrey day

Emma would go out searching for that play

That never, ever came her way

And sometimes she come home and she'd be so depressed

I'd hear her crying in the backroom and be so distressed

And I'd remember back when she was five

To the words that used to make Emmaline come alive

It was...

CHORUS

It was a cold and dark December night

When I opened up the bedroom door

To find her lying

Cold and still upon the bed

A love letter lying on the bedroom floor

IT read,

"Darling I love you

But I just can't keep living on dreams no more

I've tried so hard not to leave you alone

But I just can't keep trying no more"

CHORUS
