[Chorus]
Irene goodnight
Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene
Goodnight Irene
I guess you're in my dreams

[Verse 1]
I love Irene, god know I do
Love her till the sea run dry
If Irene turns her back on me
I'm gonna run away and fly

[Chorus]
Irene goodnight
Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene
Goodnight Irene
I guess you're in my dreams

[Outro : Lead Belly, Children]
Good mornin children. My name is Huddie Ledbetter
Good morning Ledbetter
