Lead Belly

Delta Blues

Irene

Huddie Ledbetter, John Lomax

Irene, good night, Irene, good night
Good night, Irene, good night, Irene
I guess you're in my dreams

Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in town
Sometimes I have a great notion
Jumpin' in the river and drown

Irene, good night, Irene, good night
Good night, Irene, good night, Irene
I guess you're in my dreams

Stop rambling and stop gambling
Quit staying out late at night
Go home to your wife and family
Sit by the fireside right

Irene, good night, Irene, good night
Good night, Irene, good night, Irene
