Stung/Goodnight Irene (Live)Lost in foreign tonguesI was stung by your velvet touch Look to the eyes, so black They're so cracked, I was your last attack If you call on me Then I'm left to see No, I'll never be that man you wish I'd be If you call on me Then I'm left to see, No I'll never be those things that you should see See that boy sleeps Upon steel beams, he's made of dreams You look to the eyes so black They're so cracked, I was your last attack See that little man Running with his severed hands, No he'll never work in this town again See that little man He's got the severed hands, And he'll never work in this town again Lost in foreign tongues I was stung by your velvet touch -------------------------------------------- Well I asked your mother for you She told me that you were too young I wish, dear Lord, that I'd never seen your face I'm sorry that you ever was born Irene, good night 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 get a great notion To jump into the river and drown Irene, good night Irene, good night Good night Irene Good night Irene I'll get you in my dreams Stop ramblin' and stop gambling Quit staying out so late at night (so late) Go home to your wife and your family Sit down by the fire side, bright (Come on) Irene, good night Irene, good night Good night Irene Good night Irene I'll get you in my dreams Well I love Irene and god knows that I do I love her until the sea runs dry If Irene turns her back on me Ima take morphine and die (Come on now) Well, Irene, good night Irene, good night Good night Irene Good night Irene I'll get you in my dreams I'll get you in my dreams |
