Goodnight Irene Lyrics

Goodnight Irene lyrics

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.
