Wake Up Irene - Hank Thompson[00:00:00]
Written by:Allard/hathcock[00:00:01]
For months and months and months around the country[00:00:06]
Everybody sang irene goodnight[00:00:11]
But she wouldn't go to bed[00:00:14]
No matter what they said[00:00:17]
Though everybody tried with all their might[00:00:19]
She stayed awake while steel guitars were a going[00:00:23]
In every honky tonk she could be seen[00:00:27]
But she finally went to bed[00:00:32]
And covered up her head[00:00:34]
And now there's not a thing can wake irene[00:00:36]
Wake up irene you've sleep too long[00:00:40]
Wake up irene it's time to move along[00:00:45]
Wake up irene and pay for your bed[00:00:49]
Wake up irene or folks will think you're dead[00:00:53]
Lot's of guitar pickers by the dozen[00:01:15]
Sang 'goodnight irene' all night and day[00:01:20]
And even crosby too[00:01:23]
With his bo bo bo bo be do[00:01:26]
Tried to get irene to hit the hay[00:01:28]
Well I guess they finally sang her off to slumber[00:01:32]
They must have tried a million times or more[00:01:36]
But oh my aching back[00:01:40]
When she finally hit the sack man[00:01:42]
You ought to hear that women snore[00:01:45]
Wake up irene you've sleep too long[00:01:49]
Wake up irene it's time to move along[00:01:53]
Wake up irene and pay for your bed[00:01:57]
Wake up irene or folks will think you're dead[00:02:02]
