My grandmother would always add the lyric: “Sometimes she sleeps in pajamas, Sometimes she sleeps in a gown, But when they’re both in the laundry, Irene is the talk of the town” 😳😂
So many have the same story. My 93 year old father used to sing this to me when I was a child. It reminded him of his little sister, Irene, who died in childhood in the 30’s.
WELL Said. Only months after Lead Belly's death, a cover of “Goodnight Irene” by the Weavers, a group that included his friend Pete Seeger, would hit No. 1 on the charts.
I lost my Dad in 1997 at the young age of 59. I was only 21. I remember in the house I grew up in. My Dad used to play and sing to this song. I'm 45 now and I will never get tired of hearing this song. Because it keeps my Dad close to my heart.
Growing up, before bed, my Grandma would always say "Good night Irene" to me and my mom and I never asked why. After she passed we found out that our great grandparents used to play this all the time for her as a kid. Ever since, my mom and I got in the habit of saying it to each other at night and when I turned 18 I got it tattooed across my shoulders in big, beautiful cursive script.
My grandmother's name was Irene, and this was played at her funeral. Thank you for this wonderful video. It put a smile on my face. Good night, Nanarene.
I was walking home from the carnival in the fifties and for blocks away I heard Irene sung by the weavers a popular song at the time. ❤❤❤❤still love it.
My grandma used to play this song in the car when I was very little. I didn’t know English that well back then, but I sung it with all my heart at the age of 5. Nowadays, I’m not in contact with my grandparents anymore due to family issues. But sometimes I like to listen to this song and cherish the good memories I have of us singing it together.
Thought I'd give a little update :) Me and my brother have been visiting our grandparents from time to time. The family issues are still there, but our parents respect that me and my brother want to see our grandparents every now and then. Last time we were there, my grandma handed me an old Ipod with all the songs we used to sing.
Thanks for posting this. My mom, Irene, celebrates her 89th birthday soon, and she always liked this song. I live far away, and am thinking of her tonight. Thanks again.
Mom passed away seven months ago at 92, her name was Irene and still remember her singing and humming this quite often when I was four or five , 65 odd years ago but still clear in my head and heart.
Worked in a nursing home. The folks just loved this song. Their eyes got warm and they were lighthearted listening and singing to this. It warmed my heart, too. I always liked this song after that.
Well, on the one hand, it's a song that very directly references nostalgia--the desire for an "Irene" that once was and now no longer is. But on the other hand, that's the marvelous power of music--the power to evoke emotions through tones and melodies.
I've had many WWII and Korean War Veterans sing this to me at the many Veterans events I volunteered at for over 14 years. Always made my heart smile to hear them sing to me.
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 I'm gonna take a little stroll downtown But Irene, goodnight. Irene, goodnight Goodnight, Irene. Goodnight, Irene I'll see you in my dreams Sometimes I live in the country And sometimes I live in town Sometimes I take a great notion To jump into the river and drown But Irene, goodnight. Irene, goodnight Goodnight, Irene. Goodnight, Irene I'll see you in my dreams Stop ramblin'. Stop your gamblin' Stop staying out late at night Go home to your wife and family Stay there by the fireside, bright But Irene, goodnight. Irene, goodnight Goodnight, Irene. Goodnight, Irene I'll see you in my dreams
There are some other verses floating around, including these sung by Leadbelly.. "I asked your mother for you She told me that you was too young I wish dear Lord that I'd never seen your face I'm sorry you ever were born" "I love Irene, God knows I do I love her 'til the sea runs dry If Irene turns her back on me I'm gonna take morphine and die"
thank you for keeping wonderful song alive on youtube. My mother is 100 years old and she used to listen to this song. Tonight I played it for her to help her go to sleep. She says thank you and she is having a good bedtime song thanks to your generosity & thoughtfulness.
Takes me back 77 years, when I was 13 and on a long trip with my grandparents. Whenever we'd stop for a meal, I would always drop a nickle in the jukebox to hear this song.
The Weavers at Carnegie Hall was one of my favorite albums as a child in the late 50s. This and Pete's version of 'Greensleeves' were the one's I loved the best.
My grama was irene. My grampa would always play this at the end of any party. Both gone and this song always get to me. But brings back all the good times
One of the happiest days of my life was when I was able to see the Weavers in concert. Pete had left them by then, but the show was still awesome. When they sang Good Night, Irene, I got tears in my eyes. It brought back happy memories of my teen years when it was popular. We sang it in the car on trips all the time. What a wonderful group of singers the Weavers were. Thank you, SnappHF for posting this.
I miss my grandmother she was the light in this world of darkness.... Im going to keep listening to this song in name of her. and pass it on to the next generation
I love this so much- when I was a child,(years ago), my grandma would put this record on and we would sing and dance in my bedroom. I miss her so much !!
I read that the lady in this group, Ronnie Gilbert, almost got expelled from school because she refused to wear blackface in her drama class. She was way ahead of her time.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. White people have been listening to and copying the style of black artists forever. Black face, in the past, was just a form of imitation and artistic expression. I do not think whites were making fun of blacks, and I do not think blacks were offended in the past. Remember the movie (White Girls)? Two black guys dressed up in White Face. I was not offended. It was one of the funniest movies ever.
im relief that all this great songs . geatr performance. like leadbelly will live on meanwhile there is people like us that even after almost 100 years still listening and admiring this songs... the future of music still have hope
Whenever I hear Good Night Irene I realize that song will live on for hundreds of years. Some long past away voice echoing through time bouncing off souls until time ends.
Thank you. You gave me more than a smile but brought a moment of real joy to my heart. This is a treasure. I was a tot when this song became a radio hit. It remains burned into my memory and I remember singing it with my grandmother perhaps I was 4 to 5 years old.
So my uncle says "Goodnight Irene!" Whenever I sink a ship in world of warships, or whenever it's bedtime or if we're watching boxing or MMA and someone gets knocked out. Always wondered where it was from, and then today I'm playing Bioshock infinite and I hear this song playing in an area at the start of the game; which sent me here and I've enjoyed reading all of your stories about loved ones and times past.
Kid was I was born 5 months after. my dad was killed in a coal mining accidennt. This was one of his favourite songs of the times. And my mother called me Irene in his memory. called me Irene in his memory
When I was a aide, I took care of an lady called Irene..she loved this song and always sung along and wept when it played on the radio...took care of her husband first and the family let me care for her too when he passed on .all together, 7 years . . Will always remember her ❤
I work in a nursing home, and there is this lady every time I help her to bed she sings this song to me, i fell in love with this song ever since, so I had to look it up. Its our little song and it makes us both happy
Awful classy of The Weaves to credit Leadbelly for the song he wrote and first performed. Not many other white performers did that for their black inspirations at the time.
+Alejandro Garcia Leadbelly performed many many songs he learned from white people, too. He didnt credit them he just played it. it is Not necessary everytime someone plays a song written by someone of a different race to mention it.
After knowing Alan Lomax for a short while, I was shown who Lead Belly was and what he was known for. During the late 1960s, I became aware of "The Weavers" and their music. "Good Night Irene" became one of my staples in my performances. My thanks to Huddie Ledbetter and, then Texas Governor Pat Neff, for the music I grew up with. R. I. P. Weavers. You are remembered.
I heard the name Irene and suddenly this song was brought to mind. My dad lived waltzes and i recall him singing this . My ling term memory kicked in ! Ill bet it's been 70 years since i heard this. Thank you for posting it! Nancy F Jenkins
When I was a little girl I would listen to this on my folks wind up record player. It was on 78 and I was fascinated. It was also one of my favorites. Thanks for posting. .
Love this song. It brings back wonderful memories of when my father use to sing this song when I was growing up. He passed away many years ago, I am glad I came across this today. Thank you.
I'm four-score years now, and this song has sang thru my memories since I was a young boy. Even as a young boy, hearing this song by the Weavers produced a thoughtful melancholy in me. It has the quality to make a person stop and think, as the lyrics tell a story of a person's life not turning out as they thought their life would be. Good night Irene.
The song my best friend and beloved life partner used to play on the piano when it was time for the guests to leave the party. I miss him every day, RIP Johnny.
I remember Mama and Daddy dancing to this...I also remember asking a violinist to play this to our table - Kent & Janice Wyatt, Glenda and me...at a GSC meeting in Birmingham, AL long away and far away...
i was born in 2005 but i grew up on these songs. my paretns put this song on before i would go to bed. this song is a huge part of my life. so sad that our kids wont know these beautiful amazing songs.
My parents had the recording of this group performing at Carnegie Hall -- it's probably one of the first records I can remember playing, over and over. Simple folks songs that anyone could sing, and you could sing the melody or make up your own part. How wonderful was that.
The Glorious theme tune of Bristol Rovers Football Club in England.Just promoted to League 1 of the Football League at the end of the 2015-2016 Season!Come on you Blues!!!!!!
Thank you for uploading this. My father used to play his upright Bass and my Mom on piano. They played this song when I was much younger. This song reminds me of them a lot. I miss them.
My grandma’s name was Irene and she passed 10 years ago today. My mom and I just enjoyed this song with a sip of grandma’s favorite drink: brandy and cherry juice ❤
This is Fantastic! Thank you so much! My Mom raised us with so much music including the Weavers. This made us all smile and brought back so many memories. Thank you!🤗
My grandmother would always add the lyric:
“Sometimes she sleeps in pajamas,
Sometimes she sleeps in a gown,
But when they’re both in the laundry,
Irene is the talk of the town” 😳😂
😆😆
It's from Bob Hope's parody of the song that he performed on his radio show with Bing Crosby and Judy Garland.

Laughing my heart out is a wholesome phrase 🧡
i dont know her but i think id like your grandmother alot
I like lyric
My beautiful sister, Irene, died at 42. She was troubled. I still see her in my dreams.
God bless you and keep you.
@@freedomatlast8756 yes good words. God bless her and you too
God bless her and you too.

May God be with you 🙏🙏🙏 sorry bout your sis
Im so happy that they take a minute to pay their respects to leadbelly and explained how they learned it from him

I lost my Dad in 1997 at the young age of 59. I was only 21. I remember in the house I grew up in. My Dad used to play and sing to this song. I'm 45 now and I will never get tired of hearing this song. Because it keeps my Dad close to my heart.
God bless him
How wonderful. May he always be with you.
Glad you had a good dad.
Ya
I’m so sorry!
Old folk music like this should always be preserved
Two instruments plus 4 voices = a whole choir and orchestra. Rest in peace all four of you.
Add an accordion and Chello and you got yourself a Mexican folk band lol
I work at a nursing home and some woman sang this to my residents and it was beautiful.

I'm drunk and that's absolutely beautiful
@@kmsinclaire I'm drunk right now too and I'm thinking the same thing.
Same here,...
my grandmother always said this to us too!!
My grandma used the play this on the piano

Neil Murray Hope she has a nice birthday :-)
That was my mom accidentally posting on my account. But I'll pass the message on to my mother and my grandma had a good birthday. Thx :)
As I write this it's now 2016 and I'm wishing her a happy 90th.
Very thoughtful of you.

Thanks for this. A true American classic. Leadbelly deserves more credit than he has gotten over the years, but the Weavers recognized him.
Leadbelly may be the nost influential American musician of the 20th century
Him or Robert Johnson
@@theDENIMMAN agreed
INDEED!
Worked in a nursing home. The folks just loved this song. Their eyes got warm and they were lighthearted listening and singing to this. It warmed my heart, too. I always liked this song after that.
Crazy how we can listen to songs like these after so many years after their recordings
It’s strange to feel nostalgia for a song you’ve never heard before…

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
I'm gonna take a little stroll downtown
But Irene, goodnight. Irene, goodnight
Goodnight, Irene. Goodnight, Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
Sometimes I live in the country
And sometimes I live in town
Sometimes I take a great notion
To jump into the river and drown
But Irene, goodnight. Irene, goodnight
Goodnight, Irene. Goodnight, Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
Stop ramblin'. Stop your gamblin'
Stop staying out late at night
Go home to your wife and family
Stay there by the fireside, bright
But Irene, goodnight. Irene, goodnight
Goodnight, Irene. Goodnight, Irene
I'll see you in my dreams

I so remember this song. It was my mother's favorite song. She died at 66 in 1989. It was on an album we had.
@@mark2017 is this a joke I can't tell?
@@MuhammadAli-hs5mn opps, was 1989.
Fantastic. The Weavers when they were young. They inspired me nearly 60 years ago. The world needs a group like the Weavers now.
Takes me back 77 years, when I was 13 and on a long trip with my grandparents. Whenever we'd stop for a meal, I would always drop a nickle in the jukebox to hear this song.
Wow that’s amazing cheers to 90 more 🤣
Wow! I’m sure you’ve seen alot, & alot of changes in the world from those times in comparison to now

First memory of my grandma she was 4 when this came out in 1953!! She remembers her mother sing this song and heard this on radio at only 4!
I love this so much- when I was a child,(years ago), my grandma would put this record on and we would sing and dance in my bedroom. I miss her so much !!

Great intro regarding legendary Leadbelly.
You posted this 8 years ago, but it reminded me tonight of a time when I was a young teenager in the 50's, so thank you.
Thank you for posting this classic...
So amazingly young in this film. Thanks for this. Miss you Ronnie and Pete and all.
Loved the introductory tribute to Leadbelly! Rest in peace all legends..
Awful classy of The Weaves to credit Leadbelly for the song he wrote and first performed. Not many other white performers did that for their black inspirations at the time.
There those who did though like Johnny Cash, Elvis, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, etc.
+Alejandro Garcia Leadbelly performed many many songs he learned from white people, too. He didnt credit them he just played it. it is Not necessary everytime someone plays a song written by someone of a different race to mention it.
I agree with everyone here. It warms my heart to see people who actually give a shit about others.

That was the moment that made me hit the "like" button.
Now approaching 70, I have such fond memories of my mother singing this song to me when I was very young.

Beautiful...this comments, this video..this is life....... i love u guys.. greetings from Croatia, God bless
My mother would often sing this song. Rip mum.
I don’t care what others think
80’s songs are the best
You are right.
Folks who are in their 80s plus performed the best music.
My parents had the recording of this group performing at Carnegie Hall -- it's probably one of the first records I can remember playing, over and over. Simple folks songs that anyone could sing, and you could sing the melody or make up your own part. How wonderful was that.
Thank you a million times for posting this! it has brought back so many memories of my Irish childhood!
Growing up and still to this day, every older person I meet, once I tell them my name they start singing this song to me.
