Jolene is one of those all-time great songs that should be left as is, a Dolly Parton tune so perfect that I think it should be untouched.
That is, unless it’s Beyoncé covering it.
And that may be the case, as the possible track listing for her Act II: Cowboy Carter dropped, as we get set for the country-themed album to release on Friday, March 29.
Among the titles in the really cool poster-esque post is Jolene, and if that’s really the case — maybe it’s a cover, maybe it’s a remix, maybe it’s a duet with Dolly herself — it’s going to be epic.
Fans agreed:

What if Beyonce got Dolly Parton to introduce her cover of 'Jolene' on the album? What if this album flows like a radio broadcast? Hmm. pic.twitter.com/u9knQiJKaM
