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
Me and my wife have parted
Gonna take another stroll downtown.

Irene goodnight
Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams.

Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in town
Sometimes I take a big notion
To jump in the river and drown.

Irene goodnight
Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams.

Stop rambling, stop gambling
Stop staying out late at night
Go home to your wife and family
And stay by the fire side bright.

Irene goodnight
Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams.


I'll see you in my dreams..

John Prine - My Old Kentucky Home




Jo Stafford 'Red River Valley' Original 1949 version 78 rpm

Red River Valley
From this valley they say you are going,
We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile,
For they say you are taking the sunshine
Which has brightened our pathways a while.

Chorus

Come and sit by my side if you love me;
Do not hasten to bid me adieu,
But remember the Red River Valley,
And the girl that has loved you so true.

I've been thinking a long time, my darling,
Of the sweet words you never would say,
Now, alas, must my fond hopes all vanish?
For they say you are going away.

Won't you think of the valley you're leaving,
Oh, how lonely and sad it will be,
Just think of the fond heart you're breaking,
And the grief you are causing to me.

From this valley they say you are going,
When you go, may your darling go too?
Would you leave her behind unprotected,
When she loves no one other than you.

As you go to your home by the ocean,
May you never forget those sweet hours,
That we spent in the Red River Valley,
And the love we exchanged 'mid the flowers.

I have promised you, darling, that never
Will a word from my lips cause you pain,
And my life, it will be yours forever,
If you only will love me again.

They will bury me where you have wandered,
Near the hills where the daffodils grow,
When you're gone from the Red River valley,

For I can't live without you I know.

The Stanley Brothers and the Clinch Mountain Boys - Worried Man Blues

Worried Man Blues

Words by Woody Guthrie
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song,
It takes a worried man tossing a worried song,
I'm worried now but I won't be worried long!

Went across the river, I lay down to sleep;
Went across the river, I lay down to sleep,
When I woke up.had shackles on my feet!

Twenty one links of chain around my leg;
Twenty one links of chain around my leg;
And on each link.there's an initial of my name!

The train ride is twenty one coaches long;
Train I ride is twenty one coaches long;
And the gal I love . is on that train and gone!

Asked that judge what's gonna be fine;
Asked that judge what's gonna be fine;
Twenty one years on that rooky mountain line!

Twenty one years to pay my awful Crime!
Twenty one years to pay my awful crime!
Twenty one years! And I still got ninety Nine!


Parlez-Nous à Boire


Track: Parlez-Nous à Boire
Artist: The Balfa Brothers
Album: The Balfa Brothers Play Traditional Cajun Music: Vols. 1 & 2
Label: Swallow Records

This is a studio version of the wonderful track featured in the movie Southern Comfort. Unfortunately, as best I know, the complete movie soundtrack was never released, so if you want to hear it in all its glory you'll have to buy the DVD. It's a good movie and the soundtrack, produced by Ry Cooder, is excellent.

Here's Dewey Balfa describing his 1964 appearance at the Newport Folk Festival, the first time Cajun music had featured there -

"I had played in house dances, family gatherings, maybe a dance hall where you might have seen as many as two hundred people at once. In fact, I doubt I had ever seen two hundred people at once. And in Newport, there were seventeen thousand. Seventeen thousand people who wouldn't let us get off stage."

Parlez Nous a Boire
Words & music traditional

O, parlez - nous a boire,
Non pas de mariage,
Toujours en regretons,
Les jolis jours passes.
S'it a ti maris, avec une jolie fille,
Te tands de grand danger, mon cher,
lls vont a la voler.
O, parlez - nous a boire...
S'it a ti maris, avec une vilaine fille,
Te tands de grand danger, faudra,
Que tu fais ta vie avec.
S'it a ti maris, avec une fille bien fauvre,
Te tands de grand danger, faudra,
Travailler tout ta vie.

O, parlez - nous a boire...
S'it a ti maris, avec une fille qui a de quoi,
Te tands de grand danger, faudra,
Attraper des grandes rapproches.
Parlez - moi, mon grand bon - a - rien,
Tu ta gaspiller mon bien!
Parlez - moi, mon grand bon - a - rien,
Tu ta gaspiller mon bien!
