Pete Seeger — Goodnight Irene

(Chorus:) Irene goodnight Irene goodnight Goodnight, Irene, goodnight, Irene I'll see you in my dreams (Verse:) Sometimes I live in the country Sometimes I live in town Sometimes I take a great notion To jump into the river and drown (Chorus:) Irene goodnight Irene goodnight Goodnight, Irene, goodnight, Irene I'll see you in my dreams (Verse:) I asked your mother for you She told me you was too young I wish to God I'd never seen your face I'm sorry you ever was born (Chorus:) Irene goodnight Irene goodnight Goodnight, Irene, goodnight, Irene I'll see you in my dreams (Verse:) You caused me to weep, you caused me to mourn You caused me to leave my home But the very last words I heard her say Was please sing me one more song
