Deer Tick - Goodnight, Irene lyrics

Well I asked your mother for you She told me that you were too young I wish, dear Lord, that I'd never seen your face I'm sorry that you ever was born Irene, good night Irene, good night Good night Irene Good night Irene I'll get you in my dreams Sometimes I live in the country Sometimes I live in town Sometimes I get a great notion To jump into the river and drown Irene, good night Irene, good night Good night Irene Good night Irene I'll get you in my dreams Stop ramblin' and stop gambling Quit staying out so late at night (so late) Go home to your wife and your family Sit down by the fire side, bright (Come on) Irene, good night Irene, good night Good night Irene Good night Irene I'll get you in my dreams Well I love Irene and god knows that I do I love her until the sea runs dry If Irene turns her back on me Ima take morphine and die (Come on now) Well, Irene, good night Irene, good night Good night Irene Good night Irene I'll get you in my dreams I'll get you in my dreams
