Lead Belly — Irene Goodnight Irene

[Chorus] Irene, goodnight Irene, goodnight Goodnight, Irene, goodnight, Irene I guess you're in my dreams [Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] Stop rambling and stop gambling Quit staying out late at night Go home to your wife and your family Sit down by the fireside bright [Chorus] Irene, goodnight Irene, goodnight Goodnight, Irene, goodnight, Irene I guess you're in my dreams
