Im on my girlfriends account but God bless, brother.. My late and very beautiful mother used to sing this to me the same almost every night from 1982 till the year she passed away at 51 years old in 1995... God rest our amazing vocally talented and very loving mothers.. ❤️
Lead Belly was so soulful and full of heart. I love the background info he gave on the 16 year old boy and the sweet 16 year old girl. This song is right from my dad's youth. My dad sang this all day long when working on the tractor.
I first heard this song about 1950 by the Weavers. It was my favorite song as a little boy, and it's still a favorite of mine today. My wife & I perform this song on stage. Great song!
Grazie mille, per questa meravigliosa melodia, che hai dedicato per tutte le donne , chiamano Irén. Io sono orgogliosa del mio nome , che originario della Grecia ,che significa PACE !!!!
Character. African Slave descendant. 12 string guitar. Wrote Irene Goodnight in prison & sent it the governor who freed him. Keith Richards listened to this. Saw his own 12 string and told himself "I gotta do this song" "take morphine &die".
I am a third generation Irene. I share my middle name Irene with my deceased mother and her mother. I always cringed and rolled my eyes. Heard this for the first time. Definitely preferred Lead Belly's version. The Weavers version is too sanitized.
❤Grazie per il complimento!😊 Si mi chiamo Irene ( Irén in ungherese) Ma oggi è il mio compleanno 24/ 04/48 Si ho 75 anni ,ma per festeggiare mi sono tornata in Ungheria ! Tanti saluti da Irén ungherese!❤
My mother used to sing this song as a lulla by to me when I was a baby in 1960..she left us in Dec 2021..I miss her so much
Am sorry for your loss. Truly you were blessed to have such a mother. Wonderful that she sang this for you as a lullaby.

My Dad always used to sing this in the car.
This song has been my most frequently-used closer for gigs over the past 30 years. It is popular across every generation.
Beautiful rendition from Old Lead Belly. How we miss him.
I first heard this song on a Nat King Cole album in about 1969?
I love this Song !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't know why but this song by Lead Belly is nostalgic,

Many times Paddy and I played Lead Belly songs like Western Plains and...this one. Thanks for keeping them alive :)
I had this song played at mind and wife's wedding 1968....
My name is Irene, and my mother once told me that, she named me after the lady in this song😃
And God Bless them
Brings new life to it
My Dad used to play this one.
This is his best version
I agree .

Query: Does black person equal African Slave descendant? No. Next wrong statement?
Irene was passed down thru family. Don't know about Keith Richards but it has been a Bristol Rovers anthem for about 50 years. 🙂

I support bristol rovers, and this is the best version of the song I've heard
Wonder why someone changed the song title? He says the song is called Irene Goodnight, and those words are in that order in the song.
❤Grazie per il complimento!😊
