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
