Songtexte Jolene's Story - My Darling Clementine

I took another woman's man
But he was looking for the taking
She said "Now, please don't take him just because you can"
"Or I will be forsaken"
She said, "The children need him home"
"Please don't tell him that we've spoken"
"I know he'll follow you, no matter where you roam"
"But this family will be broken"
And then she said
"Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please, please, please"
But I'm ashamed to say, I didn't walk away
And I'm still with him today
I took another woman's hand
And so the guilt is on my shoulder
And though betrayal was the last thing I had planned
Together we've grown older
Because I said
"Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you
Please, please, please"
But I'm so glad that say, she didn't walk away
And she's still with me today
We stand guilty as charged
For a life time sentence together
And everyone can see, that the innocent go free
But that's not you and me
I wont lay down the law
I wont sit on my hands
I won't go crawling back
The jury understands
We stand guilty as charged
For a life time sentence together
And everyone can see
That the innocent go free
But that's not you and me
Because everyone can see, that the innocent go free
But that's not you and me
