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

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

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

Now, I can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene
Well, 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

The White Stripes were a 2000’s rock duo from Detroit, consisting of Jack White and Meg White. They had a sound that mixed classic blues with smart, boisterous, and vibrant punk-rock.

The group became rock stars and Grammy winners in only a few short years. Assisting in that transition was intrigue.

The pair was a once-married couple who pretended to be siblings and, for a while, insisted on dressing in alternating red and white outfits. The chaffing riffs that drove the duo’s best tracks, such as 2003’s Seven Nation Army, testify to the importance of rock’s abrasive and experimental nature.
