Lyrics for Goodnight, Irene

Irene, goodnight Irene, goodnight Goodnight, Irene Goodnight, Irene I guess you're in my dreams Sometimes I live in the country Sometimes I live in town Sometimes I have these great notions Jump into the river and drown Irene, goodnight Irene, goodnight Goodnight, Irene Goodnight, Irene I guess you're in my dreams I asked your mother for you She told me you were too young I wished to God I'd never seen your face I'm sorry I'd ever been born Irene, goodnight Irene, goodnight Goodnight, Irene Goodnight, Irene I guess you're in my dreams I love Irene, God knows I do I love her 'til the seas run dry And if Irene goes back on me Gonna take morphine and die Irene, goodnight Irene, goodnight Goodnight, Irene Goodnight
