Testo Jolene - Dolly Parton
Testo della canzone Jolene (Dolly Parton), tratta dall'album Holdin' On To You
Boy, you ready tonight, ain't ya?
I heard you backstage, I heard you having a good time
I hope you will have a good time
And I hope all of you will enjoy all the songs that I have to do for you
And I'd like to do a song for you now
That I wrote about an old red-headed girl
Did you know her?
She was trying to steal my old man
But she didn't get him
I fought that red-headed woman like a wildcat
You know what she done, don't ya?
Well, she jerked my wig off and almost beat me to death with it
But I had another wig, and I didn't need another man
Her name was Jolene
Not at the time, anyway
Thank you
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm beggin' 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 (Jolene)
Well, he talks about you in his sleep
And there's nothin' I can do to keep
From cryin' when he calls your name, Jolene
Oh, but 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, Jolene
I'm beggin' 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 (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 beggin' of you, please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
Jolene (Jolene)
Jolene, you shameless hussy
Whoa
Thank you
Thanks so much, whoo
Thank you
Thank you
Again, I'd like to say welcome to all of you
And it's really a great, great pleasure for me to be back in New York City
That is, from yesterday and the day before
This is really the first time that I've got to play here
And it's really great because the people have treated me better than anybody in the world
That's the truth
As you know, this is our third and last night
And I can't remember ever enjoying the crowd more than I have here in New York
And everybody always said
"Don't go to New York, they don't like country music"
You do, don't you?
I thought so, thank you
Whoo, I almost didn't make it back in time for the show
Did some of you see me creepin' around back there?
