About JOLENE

“JOLENE” sees Beyoncé put a spin on Dolly Parton’s famous country classic, whilst the original expresses a sentiment of desperation towards a side-piece, Beyoncé’s rendition sees the protagonist know her worth and warn the other woman that the bond between Beyoncé and her man is too strong to be broken. The song was first hinted by Parton in an interview with the Knoxville News Sentinel where she shared her excitement about a possible cover of “Jolene” included in Beyoncé’s album. .

JOLENE Lyrics

[00:01.94] (Jolene)
[00:06.60] (Jolene)
[00:08.28] Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
[00:14.36] I'm warning you, don't come for my man (Jolene)
[00:20.77] Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
[00:26.97] Don't take the chance because you think you can
[00:33.73] You're beautiful beyond compare
[00:36.00] Takes more than beauty and seductive stares
[00:38.13] To come between a family and a happy man
[00:45.20] Jolene, I'm a woman too
[00:47.42] The games you play are nothing new
[00:49.43] So you don't want no heat with me, Jolene
[00:56.14] We been deep in love for 20 years
[00:58.64] I raised that man, I raised his kids
[01:00.81] I know my man better than he knows himself (huh, what?)
[01:07.86] I can easily understand why you're attracted to my man
[01:12.08] But you don't want this smoke, so shoot your shot with someone else (you heard me)
[01:18.87] Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
[01:24.59] I'm warning you, woman, find you your own man
[01:31.07] Jolene, I know I'm a queen, Jolene
[01:36.85] I'm still a Creole banjee bitch from Louisianne (don't try me)
[01:43.78] There's a thousand girls in every room that act as desperate as you do
[01:48.44] You a bird, go on and sing your tune, Jolene (what?)
[01:55.02] I had to have this talk with you 'cause I hate to have to act the fool
[01:59.62] Your peace depends on how you move, Jolene
[02:05.98] Me and my man crossed those valleys, highs and lows and everything between
[02:11.57] Good deeds roll in like tumbling weeds
[02:16.44] I sleep good happy, 'cause you can't dig up our planted seeds
[02:23.06] I know my man's gon' stand by me, breathing in my gentle breeze (ah)
[02:31.35] I crossed those valleys, highs and lows and everything between
[02:36.54] Good deeds roll in like tumbling weeds
[02:41.60] Good and happy, 'cause you can't dig up them planted seeds
[02:46.06] Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
[02:48.81] I'ma stand by her, she will stand by me, Jolene
[02:55.77] I'ma stand by him, he gon' stand by me (I'ma stand by her, she gon' stand by me)
[03:00.13] I'ma stand by him, he gon' stand by me, Jolene
[03:07.45]
