Kevin, Kevin, Kevin, Kevin,
Lass die Finger von Jolene
Du hättest niemals nicht gedacht
Dass sie Dich so scharf anmacht
sie bleibt trotzdem Tag und Nacht
meine Jolene.
Sie ist so unvergleichlich schön
Du willst mit ihr nach Hause gehen
In ihre schwarzen Augen sehn
Jolene.
Ihr blondes Haar, die Lockenpracht
Die Stimme die Dich weich anmacht
Und Du denkst nur noch an - Jolene
Mach Dir nur keine Illusion
Du träumst die ganzen Nächte schon
Von ihr, doch lass die Finger von
Jolene.
Sie flirtet gern, doch ist sie treu
Sie findet einfach nichts dabei
Und jede Nacht ist sie zu Haus - Jolene.
Kevin, Kevin, Kevin, Kevin,
Lass die Finger von Jolene
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Jetzt macht sie schöne Augen für Kevin.
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Sie dreht sich um und geht zu Kevin,
Martin, Quirin, Robin und Finn.

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
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
Lyrics/Tune: Dolly Parton
According to Parton, the song was inspired by a red-headed bank clerk who flirted with her husband Carl Dean at his local bank branch around the time they were newly married. In an interview, she also revealed that Jolene's name and appearance are based on that of a young fan who came on stage for her autograph.
