lead belly - goodnight, irene lyrics
[verse 1]
i asked your mother for you
she tole me that you was too young
i wish to the good lord that i’d never seen your face
i’m sorry that you ere were born
[chorus]
irene good night
irene good night
good night irene
good night irene
i’ll get you in my dreams
[verse 2]
sometimes i live in the country
sometimes i live in town
sometimes i haves a great notion
jumping in to the river and drown
[chorus]
irene good night
irene good night
good night irene
good night irene
i’ll get you in my dreams
[verse 3]
stop ramblin’, and stop gamblin’
quit staying out late at night
go home to your wife and family
stay there by the fireside bright
[chorus]
irene good night
irene good night
good night irene
good night irene
i’ll get you in my dreams
[verse 4]
i love irene god knows i do
i love her til the sea runs dry
if irene turns her back on me
i’m gonna take morphine and die
