I found this version on Tumblr and had to try it. I did mess with the lyrics a bit. Source: https://www.tumblr.com/highnonsenselogic/719396118048407552/what-if-jolene-was-an-eldritch-siren-monster
Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene; I’m begging of you please don’t take my man
Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene; Please don’t 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
For years our town’s been terrorized by the beast who takes disguise
in the shell that calls itself Jolene
Our sleep disturbed by quaking breath,
no rest from the threat of death
that lies behind the teeth of that Jolene
The closer that you get to her,
the more those edges seem to blur
to something that cannot be called Jolene
Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene; I’m begging of you please don’t take my man
Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene; Please don’t take him just because you can
Your teeth are sharp, your mouth agape, your claws rend flesh,
there’s no escape from the Judgment of the Eldritch One, Jolene
Blackening the summer skies, with burning wings and countless eyes,
we tremble at your very sight, Jolene
He screams about you in his sleep and when he wakes does naught but weep,
in terror of the one they call, Jolene
We cower here beneath your gaze that sets the earth and sky ablaze,
have mercy at the end of days, Jolene
Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene; I’m begging of you please don’t take my man
Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene; Please don’t take him just because you can
The foolish who came to defend, their broken minds will never mend,
They fell before they could begin, Jolene
But I’ve seen beyond that auburn hair, my eyes have met your vacant stare
and I’ve been told I’m hard to scare, Jolene
Before your wrath no foe could stand, their corpses piled upon the sand,
The blood of gods are on your hands, Jolene
Your hunger barely satisfied, you feasted on the ones who died,
You slumber now in starless skies, Jolene
Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene; I’m begging of you, don’t disturb her sleep
Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene; We’re safe while she still slumbers in the deep
