    Wow, this wasn't just a tv studio with actors. These people are actually sauced, actually signing along with all their heart, genuinely having a good time. This is just TV gold right here...

    Man, it's amazing what a song can do. I grew up around my Grandpa and he would do the exact same. Born in 1934, every time one of the grandkids would go to bed, he would always sing the chorus "Goodnight Irene, I'll see you in my dreams." Brings back such good memories from a simpler time.

    My father and I used to play and sing this song together when he was teaching me to play guitar and sing almost sixty years ago.

    saw Eric Clapton last night and he did this and my dad started to cry because my grandfather ....born in 1931 used to sing this to my dad, uncles and ant when they'd go to bed thank music is the other great equalizer

    Amazing to see a global superstar playing at such a small gig. I don't know the story behind this video tape but it's a collectors item featuring Eric Clapton along with Chas and Dave. 🎸🇮🇪❤🎼👍Gerry Farry.

    A beautiful waltz-country ballad, it reminds us all of good times. It is sadly unreleased.

    It's great to hear a young person appreciating good music. I'm sure your grandma loved this song lots. And when you see her again you can even have an old dance to it! All the very best.

    I think it was The Weavers who had a big folk "hit" on this in the late 50's ,we all loved the song and used to sing it all the time never knowing at the time that it was written by the legendary "Leadbelly" the great blues player. Every time I hear it,I am shattered by the powerful sadness contained in the lyrics.Eric Clapton's group do a great job on this old and beloved evergreen.

    My mums name is Irene and her mum my gran passed away a few days ago. And she was staying in my grans house on christmas day. My grans funeral was on christmas eve and the song that was played at her funeral was Lenny Peters welcome home. On christmas night my mum was watching Chas and Dave on the tv and Welcome home came on and then goodnight Irene which my gran used to play to my mum on the piano.

    When I was little. My Grandma would always tell me "Goodnight Irene". I never understood why because my first or middle name wasnt Irene. I figured it was in reference to a song or something. i just looked it up and found this song. she was born in 1935. There are so many different versions of this song. I dont know which one she liked best. I like So saying Good night Irene to me was like an extra I love you. Im now 15. SHe died when i was 12. R.I.P Grandma. i Love you.

      This is why George let Eric's guitar 'gently weep.' Eric's solo...captured the pathos of Leadbelly.

    Little Richard also does a very good job of it..the one I grew up listeneing to with my parents and grandparents.You should never feel like an outcast for listening to what makes your heart and soul feel the best.The songs you are listening too have lasted all these years ,the music most of the kids play today will be forgotten about by the end of the month when the next new big thing pops up.You have a lot of style kid.

    Came here while looking for Keith Richards' version from his new album. Found this instead. Took me straight back to the 1960s, some crowded smokey London pub somewhere in the suburbs; everybody sitting round a big table singing this - and many other - songs and not a dry eye in the house by the end. Everyone, from the oldest to the youngest, seemed to know all the words to all the old songs.
    Do people still do this in England? Or is everyone too sophisticated now for a good old pub sing-song?

    Songtext to Goodnight Irene :
    [Chorus:]
    Irene, goodnight. Irene, goodnight
    Goodnight, Irene. Goodnight, Irene.
    I'll see you in my dreams.
    Last Saturday night I got married.
    Me and my wife settled down.
    Now, me and my wife are parted.
    Gonna take a little stroll downtown.
    [Chorus]
    Yeah, sometimes I live in the country
    And sometimes I live in town.
    Yeah, and sometimes I take a great notion
    I'm gonna jump in the river and drown.
    [Chorus]
    Stop ramblin'. Stop that gamblin'.
    Stop staying out late at night.
    Go home to your wife and family.
    Stay there by the fireside, bright.
    [Chorus]
    Goodnight, Irene. Goodnight, Irene.
    I'll see you in my dreams.
