Straight No Chaser - Jolene Lyrics






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
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
I'm 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
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 even though you can
Jolene, Jolene

    This should win grammy

  2. M.... H....

    Is there any proof this was done live with her like it was with PTX? It's different for sure, but what we do know is Dolly collaborated with PTX. And I love SNC, so I won't even bother trying to compare the two. These artists are very different and both very good.

    M.... H....

    David Zapp While we love WOTE, some of their videos which appear live are not live; you can tell by how some voices and instruments sound. Often times things sound close-mic'd but there is not a microphone where it would have needed to be in the video.

    M.... H....

    Yeah that's true. Granted I was a fan of theirs way back when they had just 2000 subscribers. Harking back to the days when it was just Gianni and a loop station (and many many instruments.)

    Actually while I have you here, mind if I ask who arranges for SNC? I arrange for my a cappella group at home and I've been itching to pick the brain of someone more talented than me.

    M.... H....

    Appreciate your response SNC. However, they have done it live so.... And all I was saying is why no music video from SNC. You make great videos so one w Dolly would have been cool as well.

    M.... H....

    Marti Hunter We simply haven't had the time, nor the budget, to create music videos for every song we record. Much of our time is spent on the road, so we often have to be creative for the ones we do make, either shooting quickly on the day of a show, or sometimes a single day-off, in a random city. We have shot a few videos this year already that have yet to be released...

    M.... H....

    Ok thanks.

  3. P.... A....

    Dolly loves a cappella! First with SNC now with PTX!! Very exciting for both groups to perform with the LEGEND. Each brings their unique sound to her signature song. So awesome!!!

  4. v.... ....

    This is better than Pentatonix's version. I feel bad for saying that because I have been a huge fan of Pentatonix ever since the Sing-Off. They are just not the same.

    v.... ....

    v.torii.g I would have to agree, I don't get why these guys are not bigger than they are.

    v.... ....

    I like both versions. Actually, I just like a Capella in general. Straight No Chaser, Pentatonix, Home Free, The Blenders, Voctave, Voiceplay, Street Corner Symphony, The Vocal Majority... So much talent out there! I'm glad a Capella is "having a moment" as they say. Let's hope it's more than just a trend, and the masses realize just how awesome it is and keep supporting these groups for a long time to come!

    v.... ....

    it helps that SNC has three times the membership of PTX

  5. s.... c....

    There are no instruments in this music .only voices and hand clapping along with foot tapping And yes this is Dolly Parton!!!!
    It is cappella music

  6. G.... A....

    Love it guys

  7. D.... H....

    I absolutely love this song!!!!!!
      

  8. s.... ....

    I luv this song

  9. S.... B....

    They did record in studio with Dolly Parton and Sarah Bareilles.

  10. w.... ....

    not sure if cover or not.,...

  11. S.... R....

    Bass is really strong in this one ... Awesome job Charlie and Randy!

  12. A.... T....

    Dolly Parton is a gem.

  13. c.... ....

    You guys should start posting vides again

  14. S.... ....

    How can one go wrong with Dolly and SNC? Fantastic combined effort! LOVE it!!

  15. J.... B....

    It isn't the original dolly the vocals sound waaaaaayyyy different compared to this but I love it guys

  16. H.... ....

    Looks like i'll be reaching the download cap sooner than expected this month

  17. T.... ....

    It's not recent Dolly Parton. They probably just used the original vocals. Definitely sounds like young Dolly Parton.

  18. J.... C....

    Fantastic

  19. n.... ....

    oh my goodness... this... oh my goodness...

  20. m.... ....

    Simply phenomenal!

  21. K.... S....

    One of my best friends sang the original song for the talent show one year; somehow she didn't even place. Sad face.

  22. A.... R....

    yeah! this is my favorite of what y'all posted today!
