Goodnight Irene

Sometime I live the country Sometime I live in town Sometime I have a grave notion To jump into the river and drown Quit your ramblin' quit your gamblin' Quit staying out late at night Stay at home with your wife and your family And sit back by the fireside light. Irene goodnight Irene goodnight Goodnight Irene goodnight Irene I will see you in my dreams Asked your mother for you But she said you were too young They said I would never see your face Well I wish I was never born Goodnight Irene goodnight Irene goodnight Goodnight Irene goodnight Irene I will see you . I love Irene god knows I do I'm gonna love her till the sea run dry If I can't have Irene with me tonight I might take morphine and die Yeah I might take morphine and die. Irene goodnight Irene goodnight Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene I will see you in my dreams I will see you in my dreams.
