Pete Seeger - Irene (Goodnight Irene) lyrics

(Chorus:) Irene goodnight Irene goodnight Goodnight, Irene, goodnight, Irene I'll 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 I asked your mother for you She told me you was too young I wish to God I'd never seen your face I'm sorry you ever was born You caused me to weep, you caused me to mourn You caused me to leave my home But the very last words I heard her say Was please sing me one more song
