Irene (44-B-1) Lead Belly

Irene (44-B-1) - Lead Belly
[Spoken]
When he come in and found his wife gone, he walked out on the back side of the house and he went and he found his wife. When he found his wife he go’ed to Irene and he fall down on his knees. And he fall down on his knees - I’ll tell you about a woman: she can love you to death, and she can hate you just like she loves you. He went and begged Irene to take him back, and Irene walked out, and he’s down on his knees. He put both hands on her hips and tell you to “get away from me. I can’t use you no more. You called me away from my mama, and I didn’t have no where to go. I couldn’t go back home, and you wouldn’t stay at home with me. Gone out and found me a place to stay, and you just might as well just stay away.” He left Irene, and he looked down and here what he said:

[Verse 5]
I love Irene, God knows I do
Love her 'til the sea runs dry
And if Irene turns her back on me
I’m gonna take morphine and die

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

[Spoken]
He walked away from Irene and here are the last words he said:

[Chorus]
Mmmm mmm mmm mmm, mmmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmmm mmm, mmmm mmm mmm
Mmmm mmm, mmmm mmm mmm
