Goodnight, Irene |
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 town. |
Sometimes I take a great notion |
To jump into the river and drown. |
I asked your mother for you, |
She told me you was too young. |
I wish to God I’d never seen your face, |
I’m sorry you ever was born. |
You caused me to weep, you caused me to mourn, |
You caused me to leave my home. |
But the very last words I heard her say, |
Was please sing me one more song. |
