Lead Belly — Irene Goodnight lyrics

Lyrics

Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I’ll see you in my dreams
Quit rambling, quit your gambling
Quit staying out late at night
Stay home with your wife and family
Sit down at the fireside bright
Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I’ll see you in my dreams
Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in the town
Sometimes I have a great notion
To jump in the river and drown
Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I’ll see you in my dreams
I’ll see you in my dreams
I’ll see you in my dreams
