You can have your choice of men but I could never love again
He's the only one for me Jolene
I have to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you and whatever
You decide to do Jolene...
Now Momma's done away with the old black kettle she used to cook in when I was just little
And the door ain't sprung on her electric range
That little old farm and home we had it ain't there no more and that's too bad
Folks are doing away with the simple things...
I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you've dreamed of.
And I wish to you, joy and happiness.
But above all this, I wish you love.
They didn't understand it and I tried to make them see
That one is only poor only if they choose to be
Now I know we had no money but I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors that Momma made for me
Made just for me...
If I should stay,
I would only be in your way.
So I'll go, but I know
I'll think of you ev'ry step of the way.
