Asked your mother for you
She told me that you was too young
I wish, dear Lord, that I'd never seen your face
I'm sorry you ever was born.

CHORUS:
Irene, Goodnight
Irene, Good night
Goodnight, Irene, Good night, Irene
I'll get you in my dreams. Sometimes I live in the country,
Sometimes I live in town.
Sometimes I haves a great notion
To jump into the river and drown.

(CHORUS)

Stop ramblin' and stop gamblin'
Quit staying out late at night
Go home to your wife and your family
Stay down by the fireside bright

(CHORUS)




I loves Irene, God knows I do
Love her till the sea runs dry
If Irene turns her back on me
I'm gonna take morphine and die

(Chorus)

@krabbers Thanks. Leadbelly is great. The original will always be better than my version. Thanks for the comment.
