Keith Richards' version of the American blues standard which was first recorded by Huddie “Lead Belly” Ledbetter in 1933.
The song’s tone and suicidal-love theme has provided inspiration for many a musician since its release. Keith described his motivations for adding the number on Crosseyed Heart...
Well Irene
Goodnight, Irene
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight Irene
Relax, Irene
[Verse One]
I'll see you in my dreams
Last Saturday night I got married
Me and the wife settled down
Now me and my wife we are parted
I think I'll go out on the town
'Cause sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in the town
Sometimes I take that great notion
To jump in the river and drown
[Chorus]
Irene, goodnight Irene
Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene
Relax, Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
[Verse Two]
I love Irene, God knows I do
I'll love her till the seas run dry
If Irene should ever turn me down
I'd take morphine and die
[Chorus]
Irene, goodnight Irene
Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene
Relax, Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
[Verse Three]
Stop rambling, stop gambling
Stop staying out all night
Go home to your wife and your baby
And stay by your fireside bright
[Chorus]
So Irene, goodnight Irene
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight Irene
Goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
Goodnight Irene
Relax, Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
