Paul Brett - Goodnight Irene Lyrics

I asked your mother for you
She tole me that you was too young
I wish to the good Lord that I'd never seen your face
I'm sorry that you ere were born

Irene good night
Irene good night
Good night Irene
Good night Irene
I'll get you in my dreams

Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in town
Sometimes I haves a great notion
Jumping in to the river and drown

Irene good night
Irene good night
Good night Irene
Good night Irene
I'll get you in my dreams

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

Irene good night
Irene good night
Good night Irene
Good night Irene
I'll get you 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
