화이트 스트라입스 음반에 수록되지는 않고, 라이브에서만 불렀는데, 원곡은 돌리 파튼의 졸린 이란다. 졸린 이란 이름을 저렇게 처절하고도 절박하게 부르는데, 가사 내용이, 그렇게 부를수 밖에 없는 아주 절절한 심정이다. 화자가 여자인데..내용이 재미있으면서 정말 슬픈, 특히 빨간글씨 부분은..

 

 

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
I cannot compete with you, Jolene
he talks about you in his sleep
And there is 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 can 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

And 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
