goodnight hurricane irene

[jesran47]

Our Mom passed recently. When we were kids she would always say "Goodnite Irene" when it was our bedtime. We never knew or asked where the saying came from. She was cremated this past April and I wear a heart pendant around my neck with part of her remains inside of which is engraved: "Goodnite Irene" We just learned today that it was a song ... Sweet Dreams Mom ...We will miss you forever ..... JESRAN@aol.com

Thank you for sharing The WitchRegina, you're story. I dont think the pain and feeling of emptiness ever goes away. We are left one choice: To deal with it and hopefully as the years go forward hopefully, the pain lessens. Thank you for responding. Jesse

@jesran47 My mother used to sing this line to us before bed when we were young. She said she started singing it when she sang it to she sister Irene when they were young. I ended up singing it to my daughter too. I miss my mother too. Its been over 13 years now.

@ johnnyhorton2 its only leadbelly, nobody else. he sings then quickly talks a verse. no pete or woody on this.

[bostonteabagger71739]

@DIANNEELEE the words are from the singer.  leadbelly's style, narrate and sing at the same time.
