"Goodnight Irene" by Tom Waits from the album 'Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards'
Lyrics
Irene good night
Irene Irene good night
good night Irene
good night Irene
I'll get you
in my dreams
last Saturday night I got married
me and my wife settled down
now me and my wife are parted
I'm gonna take me a little stroll uptown
Irene good night
Irene Irene good night
good night Irene
good night Irene
I'll get you
in my dreams
sometimes I live in the country
sometimes I live in town
sometimes I take a great notion
to jump in the river and drown
Irene good night
Irene Irene good night
good night Irene
good night Irene
I'll get you
in my dreams
I love Irene god knows I do
I'll love her till the sea runs dry
if she ever loves another
someone'll take morphine and die
Irene good night
Irene Irene good night
good night Irene
good night Irene
I'll get you
in my dreams
stop your rambling
stop your gambling
stop staying out late at night
go home to your wife and your family
sit down by the fire light
Irene good night
Irene Irene good night
good night Irene
good night Irene
I'll get you
in my dreams
Irene good night
Irene Irene good night
good night Irene
good night Irene
I'll get you
in my dreams

Best rendition of goodnight Irene

[@DavidMartins1]

Thank you, Tom, for years and years of great music. This world would be a lot less interesting without you.

[@SouthernersSax]

His voice sounds like the result of gargling a piping hot glass of Drano and gravel, and I mean that entirely as a compliment. It absolutely suits this arrangement.

[@Momcat_maggiefelinefan]

This is the best ever version of this song! Tom’s amazing voice just adds to its charm. Sing on, Tom! 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦

[@user-mq8ho5ce8l]

Best version is Keith,s in Crosseyed Heart 2015

[@concars1234]

[@tuckerprice5521]

This gives me an overpowering urge to drink whiskey straight from the bottle.

[@dillonohlemiller9027]

Sounds like a bunch of drunks trying to sing lol

[@wychwoodmusic]

Isn't it beautiful?

[@joehudgens7330]

I think that’s Tom’s take on Leadbelly’s song. It’s totally Tom, lol

[@gustavskarlismikelsons4295]

exactly what my dad (RIP) said about his song, it sounds like a beautiful choir of drunks.
