Dolly Parton - Jolene (1974)



"Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
Im begging of you please dont take my man
Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
Please dont 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"

Fantástico! Tenho ouvido muita música americana, desde Folk a Country, de Blues a Soul - muitas vezes géneros que se fundem -, desde Johnny Cash a Muddy Waters, e fiquei simplesmente fascinado pela voz cristalina e pura de Dolly Parton! Faço-lhe uma vénia! Agora ando à procura de Emmylou Harris também.

The song is great- but I cannot stand Dolly. She looks like a plastic sex doll!! like a caricature of what she once was. sad!
