T he sun so high and lonely bur st into flame
I was h er one an d only sh e wa s my sam e
D on't cr y for me jo lene
W ipe your tears awa y
B een an orph an since i was born and
I been dyin since that day
I chase her west for hours she slips away
L ong da rk clouds come betw een us she cri es lik e ra in
D on't cr y for me jo lene
W ipe your tears awa y
B een an orph an since i was born and
I been dyin since that day
On and on i will run
If i can keep up with you i'll stay young forever
I got t o califor nia she d ropp ed in th e ocea n
I felt the world inside me tur n anothe r day olde r
D on't cr y for me jo lene
W ipe your tears awa y
B een an orph an since i was born and
I been dyin since that day
