did you know jolene actually wasn’t the girls name?? dolly was signing autographs and a little girls name was jolene and she thought it was the most beautiful name and then she made a song out of it!

I used to think Jolene was something she made up for laughs. Dolly has always had a sense of humour I can't tell which times she was telling the truth and which ones were the joke

[@OldCountrySongs]

If she hadn't made it as a singer she would've made a great comedian.

[@skylarjaxx2399]

The upcoming country group Chapel Hart wrote a song u can have him Jolene and she retweeted it and said his birthday was coming up so she would hold on to him a little bit longer and I was was wait f**k that was real. Lol I thought it was her sense of humor too.

[@janhurst544]

Yeah since she said she got the name Jolene from a little girl who was at a signing event But maybe she uses Jolene as a shorthand for the woman in the story Jolene and doesn't mean the woman her husband cheated on her with idk tho hard to tell what's fact what's fiction

[@trendarella.truthfully]

True story, she just changed her name because she met a little girl named Jolene and thought it was a beautiful name.

[@tude17]

She has also said it was about a young girl she met, named Jolene...she loved the name, had never heard it before, so kept repeating it to herself so she didn't forget the name and that's how the chorus came about...then she wrote the rest of the song...seems she's not exactly 100% sure how the song came about. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Tony-5000]

So cool that she's seen Jolene this many years later. She makes me laugh, oh, and she can sing a little, and write a song. Is it possible not to absolutely LOVE her. So talented and funny. ❤️😂

[@jessanvidot5877]

Jolene wasnt even the real name of the woman. She took that name from a little girl. Her story is that she signed an autograph for a little girl named Jolene and she told her she was going to write a song with her name because she loved it. And Jolene came to play. But sadly, I wouldn't wanna have a song talking how I almost took Dolly's husband away.

[@ellenhenderson6865]

I think the story changes forwho she tells it to.

[@KuromixMel]

She changed the name and got the name from the little girl. But she did mentioned "auburn hair" in the verses

[@autumnrain1892]

She is hilarious and obviously this is a joke but has anyone noticed that we blame the woman and not the man? Even if the woman cheats on her husband we blame the woman(appropriate in that regard) but if the man cheats it because the wife wasn't attentive enough or, the woman he cheated with is a $lut etc.. the man is not usually the person that gets the bulk of the blame. Why is that? I'm not mad about it because this doesn't affect me personally but, I just really don't understand. Do we hold men in such a low regard we think they are too stupid to make decisions? Just seems cruel to think of men that way.

[@Ifi1waVBH]

@@autumnrain1892 I don’t think she literally meant she beat him up but she definitely yelled at him

[@iDidntEatURmarshmelo]

Yeah it's in the same vein of blaming the "other woman"/homewrecker (even when said person didn't know they were homewrecking) instead of the person who cheated. I still like the song though

I've also heard her tell a different story of Jolene about how she met a little girl with red hair a green eyes and she said to the little girl that she's going to be so beautiful when she grows up she'll steal my man afterwards she wrote that song

[@ceeejay9112]

Really!!? This is interesting to me!! How long ago/where did you hear this!!??....makes sense too!!

[@NamLe-dp1mx]

What I’m thinking is that she thought about the melody Jolenex4 first, then the whole bank girl happened then she put that story onto the verse. Because she did talk about a redhead lady stealing her husband in the Dolly show.

[@Sarah-vv1bv]

I actually met dolly once in dolly wood she was so sweet, and sang for my family and me.

The first time she told this Jolene was a little girl wanting her autograph and she told her what a pretty name she had and that's where she got the name for the song. She's at that age when she's starting to forget things but we still love her dearly.

[@supernova11711]

No…she’s explained this. She didn’t want to use the actual woman’s name for obvious reasons. When she heard the little girl’s name she loved it and it fit into the song well. So the story’s real but the name was borrowed from the little girl.
