INTRODUCING ''JOLENE'' TO THE BRITS
''I want to go back now and do a song for you that was a big record over here many years ago. This is a story about an old redheaded girl that was tryin' to steal my husband back in the late '60s. Now, you know women do that sort of thing, right? But I want you to know she didn't get him. I fought that redheaded woman like a wild cat. She jerked my wig off and almost beat me to death with it. She beat the tar out of me, but I kept my husband. I got that sucker home, and I beat the tar out of him. Her name was Jolene.'' — From the 1983 TV special Dolly in Concert
