Goodnight, Irene

from Leave the Gray by The Lone Canary

lyrics

I asked your mother for you
She told me that you were too young
I wish, dear Lord, I’d never seen your face
I’m sorry you ever were born

Irene, Goodnight
Irene, Goodnight
Goodnight, Irene, Goodnight, Irene
I’ll kiss you in my dreams

Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in town
Sometimes I get the notion
To jump in the river and drown

Irene, Goodnight
Irene, Goodnight
Goodnight, Irene, Goodnight, Irene
I’ll kiss you in my dreams

I love Irene, God knows I do
Love her till the sea runs dry
If Irene turns her back on me
I’m gonna drink until I die

Irene, Goodnight
Irene, Goodnight
Goodnight, Irene, Goodnight, Irene
I’ll kiss you in my dreams
