Wake Up Irene

In the style of

Hank Thompson

Lyrics

for months
and months
and months around
the country

everybody sang
irene goodnight
but she would'nt
go to bed

no matter what
they said
though everybody tried
with all their might

she stayed
awake while
steel guitars
were a-going

in every honky tonk
she could be seen
but she finally went to
bed and covered

up her head
and now there's not a
thing can wake irene

wake up irene you've
slept too long
wake up irene it's
time to move along

wake up irene and
pay for your bed
wake up irene or folks
will think you're dead

lots of guitar
pickers by the dozen
sang goodnight irene
all night and day

and even crosby too with
his bo bo bo bo be do
tried to get irene
to hit the hay

well i guess they finally
sang her off to slumber
they must have tried
a million times or more

but oh my aching
back when
she finally hit
the sack man

you ought to hear
that woman snore

wake up irene you've
slept too long
wake up irene it's
time to move along

wake up irene and
pay for your bed
wake up irene or folks
will think you're dead
