GOODNIGHT IRENE
Written by Huddie Ledbetter and John A. Lomax
(Recorded January 9, 1958)


CHORUS:
Irene goodnight
Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene
Goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams

Last Saturday night I got married
Me and my wife settled down
Now me and my wife have parted
So I'll take another stroll downtown

REPEAT CHORUS

Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in town
Sometimes I take a great notion
To jump in the river and drown

REPEAT CHORUS
