歌曲名 Wake Up, Irene

歌手名 Hank Thompson/Hank Thompson And His Brazos Valley Boys

作曲：Johnny Hatchcock/Weldon Allard

For months and months and months around the country

Everybody sang Irene goodnight

But she wouldn't go to bed

No matter what they said

Though everybody tried with all their might

She stayed awake while steel guitars what 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 sleep 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

Lot's 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 women snore

Wake up Irene you've sleep 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
