Irene Goodnight
yeah I like John Martyn... [Mavis Staples]
Goodnight Irene
God knows, I'll love her till the seas run dry
But she has turned her back on me
I will run up the river and say goodbye, goodbye

Goodnight Irene
God knows, I'll love her till the seas run dry
But she has turned her back on me
I will run up the river and say goodbye, goodbye
Just another weekday evening
And I'm walking home
Just another work-a-day evening
And I'm walking home
Maybe she’s gone again
I don't know why or when
Oh darling, ahh baby
I got ghosts in my memory
I got ghosts in my mind
I got ghosts everywhere I walk
I got ghosts all the time
If you know, if you know
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
Well if you know a lover's will,
tell me if you can
Thought it was a woman and I
thought it was a man
I believe I heard a voice this morning
I believe I heard a voice
I do believe I heard a voice, heard a voice this morning
I believe I heard it twice
Always love, always love
We will sleep forever one day
Don't cheat because I'll take all of your heart away
16 on the side, 24 on the cobbles 1
What you think you looking at?
What you think that you can do?
I got better things in my life
Than to talk to the likes of you
The boat with the bay leaves, leaves just on time
Silver and indigo the fisherman's line
The scent from the quarter always in the air
Mint tea and majoun1 - wish I was there
All your childhood dreams;
All your adult schemes;
All the strangest dreams and thoughts
Your secrets safe with me.
One!
Two!
One, Two, Three, Four!
Woman come home,
Please, please, woman come home.
Got something for you,
Gonna make you jump and shout;
I got something for you here,
Tell you what it's all about.
She works in the office block
He's a fisherman in the sea
Her father was a fisher of men
But he never got his hooks into me
