Good night irene

I asked your mother for you
she said that you was too young
now I wish I'd never seen your face
I wish I'd never been born

Irene good night. Irene goodnight
good night Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams

sometimes I live in the city,
sometimes I live in the town
sometimes I get a great notion,
to jump into the river and drown

Irene good night. Irene goodnight
good night Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams

I loves Irene, god knows I do.
loves her till the sea runs dry
but if Irene turns her back on me
I'm gonna take morphene and die

stop ramblin' and stop gamblin'
stop stayin' out late at night
go on home to your wife and your family, boy
and sit down by the fire side bright

Irene good night. Irene goodnight
good night Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
