It′s coming time where I have to close this time. I hope I'll come
Back again, I hope I′ll be walking better, which I will. I'm gonna
Either get better or worse after I leave here, 'cause I′m going to
The right doctor this time. I went to one doctor a little too long
And I don′t think he knew what he was doing, but I think I'm gonna
Find the right one. Until we meet again, I′ll sign off with best
Regards with you by singing, I hope
You join in close with me, by singing
Irene, goodnight
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight, Irene, goodnight, Irene
I guess you in my dreams
Now come with me. There's a little girl that′s sitting right here
I don't know where her people live, but they ought to buy her
A guitar, because she′s carrying her hands just like I'm carrying
Mine, and she's been doing it ever since I′ve been here. What
I mean, she got the rhythm! She really got the rhythm. So
We′ll sign the best regards by saying Irene, and come with me
Irene, goodnight
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight, Irene, goodnight, Irene
I guess you in my dreams
I asked your mother for you, what she said?
She told me you was too young
I wish, dear Lord, that I'd never seen your face
I′m sorry you were born
Irene, goodnight
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight, Irene, goodnight, Irene
I guess you in my dreams
Here go the last verse
I love Irene, God knows I do
Love her till the sea runs dry
If Irene turns her back on me
I'm gonna take morphine and die
Irene, goodnight
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight, Irene, goodnight, Irene
I guess you in my dreams
Now let′s moan it together
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Thank you, you people are really good!
