Goodnight, Irene

(专辑： Chicken Skin Music - 1976)

I asked your mother for you
She told me that you was too young
I wish dear Lord never have seen your face
And I'm sorry that you ever been born

Irene good night, Irene good night
Goodnight Irene, good night Irene
I'll get you in my dreams

Sometimes I lives in the country
Sometimes I lives in town
Sometimes I have a great notion
To jump into the river and drown

I loves Irene, God knows I do
Loves her till the sea runs dry
If Irene turns her back on me
I'm gonna take morphine and die

Stop rambling and stop gambling
Quit staying out late at night
Come home into your wife and your family
Sit down by the fireside bright

Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll get you in my dreams
