Steve Earle - Goodnight Irene Lyrics
Irene goodnight, irene goodnightGoodnight irene, goodnight ireneIll see you in my dreamsSometimes I live in the countrySometimes I live in townSometimes I have a great notionTo jump into the river and drownIrene goodnight, irene goodnightGoodnight irene, goodnight ireneIll see you in my dreamsQuit ramblin and quit gamblinQuit stayin out late at nightStay home with your wife and familySit down by the fireside brightIrene goodnight, irene goodnightGoodnight irene, goodnight ireneIll see you in my dreamsI asked your mother for youShe told me you was too youngI wished to God Id never seen your faceIs sorry you ever was bornIrene goodnight, irene goodnightGoodnight irene, goodnight ireneIll see you in my dreamsI love irene, God knows I doIll love her till the seas run dryAnd if irene turns her back on meId take morphine and dieIrene goodnight, irene goodnightGoodnight irene, goodnight ireneIll see you in my dreamsYou cause me to weep, you cause me to mournYou cause me to leave my homeBut the very last words I heard her sayWas please sing me one more songIrene goodnight, irene goodnightGoodnight irene, goodnight ireneIll see you in my dreams
