lead belly - goodnight irene (sung with little girl) lyrics

Loading...

[chorus]
irene, goodnight
irene, goodnight (stay with me now)
goodnight, irene, goodnight, irene
i guess you’re in my dreams
(i’ve got the verse and you catch me at the chorus)

[verse 1]
i asked your mother for you
she told me that you was too young
(wait a minute)
i wish dear lord that i never seen your face
i’m sorry that you ever was born
(now come with me)

[chorus]
irene, goodnight
irene, goodnight
goodnight, irene, goodnight, irene
i guess you’re in my dreams
(i got the next verse)

[verse 2]
stop rambling and stop gambling
quit staying out late at night
go home to your wife and your family
sit down a-by the fireside bright

[chorus]
irene, goodnight
irene, goodnight
goodnight, irene, goodnight, irene
i guess you’re in my dreams
(this be the last verse)

[verse 3]
i love irene, god knows i do
love her ’til the sea run dry
if irene turns her back on me
i’m gonna take morphine and die

[chorus]
irene, goodnight
irene, goodnight
goodnight, irene, goodnight, irene
i guess you’re in my dreams

[spoken]
now come around here and take your hands…
