Dry like a hot summer day in the country with mosquitos. Beyonce and her song writers cover Dolly Patron's 1973 classic "Jolene." They flip the song. Instead of begging Jolene to stay away from her husband, Beyonce's version warns Jolene with threats of violence, which falls on mute ears. This is another song holding a woman accountable for the actions of their unfaithful husband. Irony of Beyonce's version, is its lyrics read like a life experience of both her and her mother, Tina.
Example: She says, "raised his kids for 20 years" But none of Beyonce's children are 20 and she never publicly raised any of Shawn "Jay Z" children.
She says, "I’m still a banjee B-tch from Louisiananne"
But Beyoncé was born and raised in Houston. Her mother Tina Knowles is from Louisiana.
Next, as she pours several "shots" of alcohol into a coffee mug, Beyonce sings "Me and my man crossed those valleys, highs & lows, everything between."
Again, conveying to the 'other' woman that she has an unbreakable relationship with her man. But the irony of this version is another woman imploring or warning other women to stay away from their husband when their husband leave them to go and play and even stay away with other women!
Funny, at one point a man sings along stay away from the happy home. That suggests, the reality of a man torn between another love interest but his inability to escape his current situation to seek divorce. So he plays along with the wife, but will be in the arms of his love interest day and night - Jolene!
This song may resonate with women begging their man to stay home. But in 2024 there are millions of Jolenes they ain't going nowhere. Now flip the Bey "y" and let's say, Bye Beyonce! Drink the cup of alcohol! Stay drunk in love!

Great music! Strong lyrics! Southern Curls is soul and country. The song journeys the life of biracial children and the inner struggles of identity and self identifying in a world that forces classifications. Deeper, the song also highlights classism and sexism, too.
