Irene, I'm leavin'
Yes Irene, I'm leavin'
But Irene don't be grievin'
It's just time to get on board

I'm gonna meet Him
Meet my Lord in Heaven
Ain't no time for packin'
It's just time to get on board

When He comes a-callin'
Ain't nothin' you can do
But turn and go

I'm goin' to Heaven
Yes, I'm goin' to Heaven
Like a seven forty seven
Flown by the Lord

When He comes a-callin'
Ain't nothin' you can do
But turn and go

Irene, I'm leavin'
Yes, Irene I'm leavin'
Yes, Irene I'm leavin'
Yes, Irene I'm leavin'
