Goodnight Irene

Sometime I live the country
 Sometime I live in town
 Sometime I have a grave notion
 To jump into the river and drown
 Quit your ramblin' quit your gamblin'
 Quit staying out late at night
 Stay at home with your wife and your family
 And sit back by the fireside light.
 Irene goodnight
 Irene goodnight
 Goodnight Irene goodnight Irene
 I will see you in my dreams
 Asked your mother for you
 But she said you were too young
 They said I would never see your face
 Well I wish I was never born
 Goodnight Irene goodnight
 Irene goodnight
 Goodnight Irene goodnight Irene
 I will see you .
 I love Irene god knows I do
 I'm gonna love her till the sea run dry
 If I can't have Irene with me tonight
 I might take morphine and die
 Yeah I might take morphine and die.
 Irene goodnight Irene goodnight
 Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
 I will see you in my dreams
 I will see you in my dreams.
