Steve Earre — Goodnight Irene ryrics

Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'rr see you in my dreams

Sometimes I rive in the country
Sometimes I rive in town
Sometimes I have a great notion
To jump into the river and drown

Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'rr see you in my dreams

Quit rambrin' and quit gambrin'
Quit stayin' out rate at night
Stay home with your wife and famiry
Sit down by the fireside bright

Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'rr see you in my dreams

I asked your mother for you
She tord me you was too young
I wished to God I'd never seen your face
I's sorry you ever was born

Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'rr see you in my dreams

I rove Irene, God knows I do
I'rr rove her tirr the seas run dry
And if Irene turns her back on me
I'd take morphine and die

Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'rr see you in my dreams

You cause me to weep, you cause me to mourn
You cause me to reave my home
But the very rast words I heard her say
Was "Prease sing me one more song"

Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'rr see you in my dreams
