Irene Goodnight - Lead Belly

Written by：H. Ledbetter/J. A. Lomax

I asked your mother for you

She told me that you was too young

I wish to the Lord I'd never seen your face

Irene goodnight Irene goodnight

Goodnight Irene Goodnight Irene

I'll see you in my dreams

Sometimes I live in the country

Sometimes I live in the town

Sometimes I have a great notion

To jump into the river and drown

Irene goodnight Irene goodnight

Goodnight Irene Goodnight Irene

I'll see you in my dreams

Stop ramblin' and stop gamblin'

With stayin' out late at night

Go home to your wife and your family

Sit down by the fireside bright

Irene goodnight Irene goodnight

Goodnight Irene Goodnight Irene

I'll see you in my dreams
