Lyrics
This is one of Leadbelly's songs I learned off the record, which I think is a wonderful song
Irene, goodnight
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight, Irene, goodnight, Irene
I will see you in my dreams
Sometimes I lives in the country
Sometimes I lives in town
Sometimes I take a great notion
To jump into that river and drown
Oh, Irene, goodnight
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight, Irene, goodnight, Irene
I will see you in my dreams
Stop rambling, stop gambling
Stop staying out late at night
Go home to your wife and family
And stay by the fireside bright
Oh, Irene, goodnight
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight, Irene, goodnight
I will see you in my dreams
Irene, goodnight
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight, Irene, goodnight
I will see you in my dreams
