[Verse 1]
I asked your mother for you
She told me that you was too young
I wish dear Lord never have seen your face
And I'm sorry that you ever been born
[Chorus]
Irene good night, Irene good night
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll get you in my dreams
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I live in the country
And sometimes I lives in town
Sometimes I have a great notion
To jump into the river and drown
[Chorus]
Irene good night, Irene good night
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll get you in my dreams
[Guitar and Accordion Solos]
[Verse 3]
I loves Irene, God knows I do
Loves her till the sea runs dry
If Irene turns her back on me
I'm gonna take morphine and die
I asked your mother for you
She told me that you was too young
I wish dear Lord never have seen your face
And I'm sorry that you ever been born
[Chorus]
Irene good night, Irene good night
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll get you in my dreams
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I live in the country
And sometimes I lives in town
Sometimes I have a great notion
To jump into the river and drown
[Chorus]
Irene good night, Irene good night
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll get you in my dreams
[Guitar and Accordion Solos]
[Verse 3]
I loves Irene, God knows I do
Loves her till the sea runs dry
If Irene turns her back on me
I'm gonna take morphine and die
