Goodnight Irene
Irene goodnight Irene goodnight Goodnight Irene Goodnight Irene I'll see you in my dreams Last Saturday night I got married Me and my wife settled down But now that my wife has de-parted gonna take a little trip into town I asked your mother for you She told me that you were too young I wish to the lord That I never seen your face Or heard your lying tongue Chorus Sometimes I lives in the country Sometimes I lives in the town Sometimes I takes a great notion To jump in the river and drown Chorus Stop ramblin' stop your gambling Stop staying out late at night Go home to your wife and your family Sit down by the fireside bright Chorus I loves Irene god knows I do Love her 'till the seas run dry But if Irene turns her back on my I'm gonna take that morphing and die Chorus Music & Lyrics
