Good Night, Irene

Chorus:

Irene, good night, Irene, good night.

Good night Irene, good night Irene,

I`ll see you in my dreams.

1. Last saturday night I got married

Me and my wife settled down

G7

Now my wife and I for a party

gonna take another stroll downtown

Ch:Irene...

2. Sometimes I live in the country

Sometimes I live in the town

Sometimes I take a fool notion

To jump in the ocean and drown

Ch:Irene...

3. Stop your ramblin` stop your gamblin`

Stop stayin` up late at night

Go home to your wife and family

Stay there by fireside bright

Ch:Irene...

...tak to zpival J.Cash. Huddie Ledbetter (Leadbelly) to zpival takhle:

Ch:Irene...

1. Sometimes I live in the country,

Sometimes I live in the town.

Sometimes I have a great notion

To jump into the river and drown.

Ch....

2. I asked your mother for you,

She told me you were too young.

I wish to the Lord I never seen your face,

I`m sorry you ever was born.

Ch....

3. You caused me to weep, you caused me to moan,

You caused me to leave my home.

The last word I ever heard her say:

"I want you to sing me a song"

Ch....

4. Stop ramblin` and stop gamblin`,

Quit staying out late at night.

Go home to your wife and your family,

Sit down by the fireside bright.

Ch....

5. I love Irene,God knows I do,

I love her till the sea runs dry.

If Irene turns her back on me

I`m gonna take morphine and die.

Ch....

A nakonec česky:

CHORUS:

Irene, jdi spát, Irene, jdi spát,

jdi spát, Irene, jdi spát, Irene,

a nech si o mně zdát.

1. Já přišel si o tebe říct,

tvá máma hnala mě ven,

ať koukám prej dál svojí cestou jít

a víckrát se nevracím sem.

CHORUS:Irene...

2. Já nejsem farmář, to vím,

jsem tulák a toulám se rád,

spím, kde se dá, suchej chleba jím,

je psí život takhle se štvát.

CHORUS:Irene...

3. Vzal čert tenhle proklatej kraj,

vzal čert tenhle bláznivej den,

až hvězdy zhasnou, já řeknu jen:

buď sbohem, má Irene, good night.

CHORUS:Irene...
