Trembol | Story behind Dolly Parton’s Jolene
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, it’s cute, it sounds like a song.Some time later, when Dolly Parton had been married to Carl Thomas Dean for almost 10 years, she noticed that he often went to the bank. She used to jokingly say to him:
Hell, you spend too much time at the bank, I don’t think we have that kind of money 💰It turns out he went so much because there was a tall, red-haired bank worker who flirted with him. As Dolly tells it, the woman was spectacular. In fact, this is how she describes her in the first part of the song:
Your beauty is beyond compare. With flaming locks of auburn hair. With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green.The woman in the bank was in love with Carl, and he even said her name in his sleep, as Dolly Parton has confessed. Despite all this, Dolly nipped it in the bud and the infidelity never happened. So much so that Dolly Parton and Carl Dean have been married for more than 50 years. They celebrated their golden wedding anniversary in 2016, marrying for the second time 👩❤️👨 By the way, the woman in the bank, whom he never saw again, was not called Jolene. As you already know, the name is that of the autograph girl. What is the meaning of Jolene? As we have been saying, the song talks about cheating on someone, but it was not intended maliciously, but from the point of view of understanding. Dolly asks her rival not to seduce her husband because she knows that if she tries, she will succeed, and for Dolly he is the love of her life. So, it’s really an innocent song all around, as well as a song with a melody that has enamoured every generation since its release in 1967, on Dolly Parton’s album of the same name, ‘Jolene’.

La razón por la que creo que Jolene ha resonado con tanta gente durante tanto tiempo es porque la mayoría de nosotros hemos tenido una Jolene o un Joe en nuestras vidas en un momento u otro.
Pero lo más importante es que todos nos hemos sentido inseguros por algo. Todos hemos sentido que podríamos perder a alguien que amamos a manos de otro porque no somos lo suficientemente buenos. Y de eso trata realmente esta canción.
The reason I think Jolene has resonated with so many people for so long is because most of us have actually had a Jolene or a Joe in our lives at one time or another.
But more importantly, we’ve all felt insecure about something. We’ve all felt like we might lose someone we love to someone else because we are not good enough. And that’s what this song’s really about.

This is what it says | Dolly Parton Jolene Lyrics
LYRICS DOLLY PARTON | JOLENE | ENGLISH
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 flamin’ 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 nothin’ I can do to keep
From cryin’ 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 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
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 even though you can
Jolene, Jolene
LYRICS DOLLY PARTON | JOLENE | SPANISH
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Te lo ruego, por favor no te lleves a mi hombre
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Por favor, no te lo lleves sólo porque puedes
Tu belleza no tiene comparación
Con flamantes mechones de pelo castaño
Con la piel de marfil y los ojos de color verde esmeralda
Tu sonrisa es como un soplo de primavera
Tu voz es suave como la lluvia de verano
Y no puedo competir contigo, Jolene
Habla de ti mientras duerme
Y no hay nada que pueda hacer para evitar
llorar cuando dice tu nombre, Jolene
Y puedo entender fácilmente
Cómo podrías fácilmente tomar a mi hombre
Pero no sabes lo que él significa para mí, Jolene
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Te lo ruego, por favor no te lleves a mi hombre
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Por favor, no te lo lleves sólo porque puedes
Tú podrías tener el hombre de tu elección
Pero yo nunca podría volver a amar
Él es el único para mí, Jolene.
Tenía que tener esta charla contigo.
Mi felicidad depende de ti.
Y lo que decidas hacer, Jolene
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Te lo ruego, por favor no te lleves a mi hombre
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Por favor, no te lo lleves aunque puedas
Jolene, Jolene

Technical Note | Dolly Parton Jolene
It’s a great chord progression — people love that ‘Jolene’ lick. It’s as much a part of the song almost as the song. And because it’s just the same word over and over, even a first-grader or a baby can sing, ‘Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene’.The song, unlike most country songs of the era, the late 60s, starts with the chorus, in a pretty repetitive way:
- It sings ‘Jolene’ eight times, while the magical guitar plucking plays.
- Have you ever wondered how many times Dolly Parton says Jolene in the song? I’ll tell you, 31 times 🤯
- The song is in E minor and the chords in the chorus are: Am – C – G – G – Am – G – Em7 – Am
