Leadbelly - Nothin' But the Blues

Goodnight Irene (Remastered)

I asked your mother for you
She told me that you was too young
I wish dear Lord that I'd never seen your face
I'm sorry you ever were born

Irene good night
Irene good night
Good night Irene and good night Irene
I guess you're in my dreams

Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in town
Sometimes I have a great notion
Jumping in, into the river and drown

Irene good night
Irene good night
Good night Irene and good night Irene
I guess you're in my dreams

Stop ramblin' and stop gamblin'
Quit staying out late at night
Go home to your wife and your family
Stay there by the fireside bright

Irene good night
Irene good night
Good night Irene and good night Irene
I guess you're in my dreams

I love Irene, God knows I do
I love her 'til the sea runs dry
If Irene turns her back on me
I'm gonna take morphine and die
