Well you´re coming down High Street walking in the sun
You make a dead man rise and holler she´s the one
Jolene, Jolene
Baby I am the king and you´re the queen

Well it´s a long old highway that don´t ever end
I got a Saturday Night Special, I´m back again
I´ll sleep by your door, lay my life on the line
You probably don´t know but I´m gonna make you mine

Jolene, Jolene
Baby I am the king and you is the queen

I keep my hands in my pocket, I´m movin´ along
People think they know, but they´re all wrong
You´re something nice, I´m gonna bet my dice
I can´t say I haven´t paid the price

Jolene, Jolene
Baby I am the king and you is the queen

Well I found out the hard way, I´ve had my fill
You can´t fight somebody with his back to a hill
Those big brown eyes, they set off a spark
If you hold me in your arms, things don´t look so dark

Jolene, Jolene
Baby I am the king and you´re the queen
