Paroles: Jeremy Fisher. Jolene.

The sun's so high and lonely
Burst into flame.
I was her one and only, she was my same.

Don't cry for me Jolene
Wipe your tears away
Been an orphan since I was born
And, I've been dying since that day.

I chase her west for hours, she slips away
Long dark clouds come between us
She cries like rain.

Don't cry for me Jolene
Wipe your tears away
Been an orphan since I was born
And, I've been dying since that day.

On and on I will run,
If I can keep up with you, I'll be young forever.

When I got to California, she dropped in the ocean
I felt the world inside me turn another day older.

Don't cry for me Jolene
Wipe your tears away
Been an orphan since I was born
And, I've been dying since that day
