[Originally by Dolly Parton]

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

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

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

Let's go!

Me First and the Gimme Gimmes (or the “Gimmes”) is the result of the collaboration of several artists from the Fat Wreck Chords family. Members include Joey Cape and Dave Raun from Lagwagon, Fat Mike from NOFX, Chris Shiflett from No Use for a Name and the Foo Fighters, and Spike Slawson from the Swingin' Utters. The band records nothing but punk covers of popular songs from some of the most un-punk genres.
