Goodnight Irene by Pete Seeger
Performed by
Pete SeegerGoodnight Irene Lyrics
(Chorus:)
Irene goodnight
Irene goodnight
Goodnight, Irene, goodnight, Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
(Verse:)
Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in town
Sometimes I take a great notion
To jump into the river and drown
(Chorus:)
Irene goodnight
Irene goodnight
Goodnight, Irene, goodnight, Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
(Verse:)
I asked your mother for you
She told me you was too young
I wish to God I'd never seen your face
I'm sorry you ever was born
(Chorus:)
Irene goodnight
Irene goodnight
Goodnight, Irene, goodnight, Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
(Verse:)
You caused me to weep, you caused me to mourn
You caused me to leave my home
But the very last words I heard her say
Was please sing me one more song
