A reply to Jolene

So we were having a joke around in band practice a few weeks back about doing a song in reply to Dolly Parton's 'Jolene' in which the other woman had a chance to tell her tale. I didn't really think about it much until this morning when I started singing the first two lines to myself. I wrote a couple more verses than this which paint Jolene as a misunderstood woman, but I think the opening chorus sums it up.
