Goodnight Irene Lyrics - Shine Eyed Mister Zen - Kelly Joe Phelps

Sometime I live the country 

Sometime I live in town 

Sometime I have a grave notion 

To jump into the river and drown 

Quit your ramblin' quit your gamblin' 

Quit staying out late at night 

Stay at home with your wife and your family 

And sit back by the fireside light. 

Irene goodnight 

Irene goodnight 

Goodnight Irene goodnight Irene 

I will see you in my dreams 

Asked your mother for you 

But she said you were too young 

They said I would never see your face 

Well I wish I was never born 

Goodnight Irene goodnight 

Irene goodnight 

Goodnight Irene goodnight Irene 

I will see you . 

I love Irene god knows I do 

I'm gonna love her till the sea run dry 

If I can't have Irene with me tonight 

I might take morphine and die 

Yeah I might take morphine and die. 

Irene goodnight Irene goodnight 

Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene 

I will see you in my dreams 

I will see you in my dreams.
