Lyrics Goodnight Irene - Mississippi John Hurt

Goodnight Irene

Irene, goodnight\nIrene, goodnight\nGoodnight, Irene, goodnight, Irene\nI will see you in my dreams\nSometimes I live in the country,\nSometimes I live in town\nSometimes I take a great notion,\nTo jump into the river and drown\nIrene, goodnight\nIrene, goodnight\nGoodnight, Irene, goodnight, Irene\nI will see you in my dreams\nStop rambling, stop gambling,\nStop staying out late at night\nGo home to your wife and your family,\nAnd stay by the fireside bright.\nIrene, goodnight\nIrene, goodnight\nGoodnight, Irene, goodnight, Irene\nI will see you in my dreams
