Irene Lead Belly

[Chorus]
Irene, goodnight
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I guess you're in my dreams

[Verse 1]
I asked your mother for you (What she tell him?)
She told me you was too young (She's 18 years old)
I wish, dear lord, that I'd never seen your face
I'm sorry you ever was born (You broke his heart)

[Chorus]
Irene, goodnight
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I guess you're in my dreams

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I lives in the country
Sometimes I lives in town
Sometimes I haves a great notion
Jumpin' into the river and drown

[Chorus]
Irene, goodnight
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I guess you're in my dreams
