LYRICS to Marge Greene Joleen
by The Freedom Toast
Marge Greene, Marge Greene, Marge Greene, Marge Gree-ee—ene!
Don’t be part of Q Anon’s last stand
Marge Greene, Marge Greene, Marge Greene, Marge Gree-ee—ene!
Don’t stick with them even though you can.
Your theories, conspiracies,
Delusional strange tendencies
You never hesitate to make a scene
You carry guns stuck in your purse,
You stalk your victims like a curse
Tell rioters to come on in, Marge Greene
Your crazy tales, your Q Anon
We re-a-lize how far you’re gone
You’re seeing Rabbis on the moon Marge Greene
We can easily understand
How you believe in Martian Man
But he did not send beams from Space, Marge Greene
Marge Greene, Marge Greene, Marge Greene, Marge Gree-ee—ene!
Don’t be part of Q Anon’s last stand
Marge Greene, Marge Greene, Marge Greene, Marge Gree-ee—ene!
Don’t stick with them even though you can.
You believed in Pizzagate
You think Godot is only late
You don’t play with a full deck Margie Greene
I had to have this talk with you
But it’s like asking cows to moo
You only make the noise you want Marge Greene
Marge Greene, Marge Greene, Marge Greene, Marge Gree-ee—ene!
Don’t be part of Q Anon’s last stand
Marge Greene, Marge Greene, Marge Greene, Marge Gree-ee—ene!
Don’t stick with them even though you can.
Marge Gree-ee—ene!
Marge Gree-ee—ene!,
ABOUT THE ORIGINAL SONG
"Jolene" is a song written and performed by American country music artist Dolly Parton. It was produced by Bob Ferguson and recorded at RCA Studio B in Nashville, Tennessee on May 22, 1973. It was released on October 15, 1973 by RCA Victor, as the first single and title track from her album of the same name.
The song was ranked No. 217 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of "the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time" in 2004 and according to Parton, is her most-covered song.
According to Parton, the song was inspired by a red-headed bank clerk who flirted with her husband Carl Dean at his local bank branch around the time they were newly married. In an interview, she also revealed that Jolene's name and appearance are based on that of a young fan who came on stage for her autograph.
The song tells of Parton confronting Jolene, a stunningly beautiful woman, who she worries will steal away her lover/husband. Throughout the song, Parton implores Jolene "please don't take him just because you can." The song is unclear about whether or not Jolene intends to steal Parton's lover, an ambiguity that has been addressed in several answer songs. Onstage in 1988, Dolly told the audience "Jolene" was a true story and the reason she did not like to sing it too often.
The song has sold well over a million digital copies in the US since it became available for digital download.
The song was released as a single later in the UK, and became Parton's first top ten hit song in the country, reaching number seven in the UK Singles Chart in 1976.[9] The song also re-entered the chart when Parton performed at the Glastonbury festival in 2014.
In 2019, the podcast Dolly Parton's America had an episode addressing the question of whether the narrator's focus on Jolene's beauty and desirability is indicative of her own romantic longings. A musicologist wrote and performed a fourth verse which makes this interpretation explicit; when the podcast's hosts played audio of this performance for Parton, she responded that this was "another take on it". During an interview on The Bobby Bones Show in 2018, Dolly Parton revealed that she wrote "Jolene" on the same day that she wrote "I Will Always Love You".
