Tekst "Jolene" je priča o domaćici koja se suočila s crvenokosom ljepoticom po imenu Jolene za koju vjeruje da ima ljubavnu vezu s njenim suprugom. Krajem 1973. ta je pjesma postala druga singlica u karijeri Dolly Parton koja je došla na vrh country top-lista. . Istoimeni album je došao na vrhu u februaru 1974. Pjesma se ubrzo počela pojavljivati i na top-listama pop muzike, a u Velikoj Britaniji je došla na sedmo mjesto.
Često se navodi kako je inspiracija za "Jolene" bila crvenokosa blagajnica u banci za koju je Parton sumnjala da je predmet fantazija njenog supruga, te da je zbog nje suprug odlazio u banku češće nego što je trebalo. Dolly Parton je pak rekla da joj je kao inspiracija zapravo poslužila crvenokosa djevojka koja je tražila autogram nakon koncerta i rekla da se zove Jolene.
Dolly Parton Jolene Lyrics
Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
Im 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
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
Im 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
Hes 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
Im begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
Please don't take him even though you can
Jolene, jolene
