"Goodnight Irene" lyrics - MISSISSIPPI JOHN HURT
MISSISSIPPI JOHN HURT
"Goodnight Irene"
Irene, goodnight
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight, Irene, goodnight, Irene
I will see you in my dreams
Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in town
Sometimes I take a great notion
To jump into the river and drown
Irene, goodnight
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight, Irene, goodnight, Irene
I will see you in my dreams
Stop rambling, stop gambling
Stop staying out late at night
Go home to your wife and your family
And stay by the fireside bright
Irene, goodnight
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight, Irene, goodnight, Irene
I will see you in my dreams
