Jolene - The Petersens (Dolly Parton Cover)

"Jolene" is a Dolly Parton cover, and the second video we ever filmed. Our early days were a steep learning curve! For sound quality, we tried recording the sound in our living room on separate microphones before filming the video using a microphone as a prop, for a focal point. You can already hear the difference from our first video, "No Roots", which we tried filming live with a single microphone: https://youtu.be/t_STUSPozyU.

►LYRICS - Jolene
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 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 nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name, Jolene

Now 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 begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can

Now 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 begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can [x2]

Please don't take him even though you can
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
