The final song on their acoustic album NUDES, “Goodnight, Irene” was recorded by Lucius and Roger Waters using a 1947 Voice-O-Graph booth. The direct-to-vinyl approach gives the track it’s lo-fi, intimate sound.
The song is an American folk standard, first recorded by Leadbelly in 1933.
Goodnight, Irene Lyrics
[Verse 1: Roger Waters]
Last Saturday night I got married
Me and my wife settled down
Now me and my woman has parted
Think I'll take a stroll downtown
[Chorus: Jess Wolfe, Holly Laessig, & Roger Waters]
Irene, goodnight
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight, Irene
Goodnight, Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
[Verse 2: Jess & Holly]
Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in the town
Sometimes I take a great notion
To jump in the river and drown
[Chorus: Jess, Holly, & Roger]
Irene, goodnight
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight, Irene
Goodnight, Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
[Verse 3: Roger Waters]
I love Irene, God knows I do
I'll love her 'til seas run dry
But if Irene turns her back on me
Gonna take morphine and die
[Chorus: Jess, Holly, & Roger]
Irene, goodnight
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight, Irene
Goodnight, Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
[Verse 4: Jess & Holly]
Stop ramblin', stop gamblin'
Stop staying out late at night
Go home to your wife and your family
Sit down by the fireside bright
[Chorus: Jess, Holly, & Roger]
Irene, goodnight
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight, Irene
Goodnight, Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
[Outro: Jess & Holly]
Goodnight, Irene
Goodnight, Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
