[00:00.00]Wake Up, Irene - The Brazos Valley Boys
[00:06.08]For months and months and months around the country
[00:10.67]Everybody sang Irene goodnight
[00:14.64]But she wouldn't go to bed no matter what they said
[00:19.04]Though everybody tried with all their might
[00:23.24]She stayed awake while steel guitars were a going
[00:27.51]In every honky tonk she could be seen
[00:31.78]But she finally went to bed and covered up her head
[00:36.19]And now there's not a thing can wake Irene
[00:40.61]Wake up Irene you've sleep too long
[00:44.93]Wake up Irene it's time to move along
[00:49.17]Wake up Irene and pay for your bed
[00:53.47]Wake up Irene or folks will think you're dead
[01:15.65]Lot's of guitar pickers by the dozen
[01:19.81]Sang 'goodnight Irene' all night and day
[01:23.84]And even Crosby too with his bo bo bo bo be do
[01:28.44]Tried to get Irene to hit the hay
[01:32.21]Well I guess they finally sang her off to slumber
[01:36.45]They must have tried a million times or more
[01:40.65]But oh my aching back when she finally hit the sack man
[01:45.56]You ought to hear that women snore
[01:49.37]Wake up Irene you've sleep too long
[01:53.64]Wake up Irene it's time to move along
[01:57.79]Wake up Irene and pay for your bed
[02:02.06]Wake up Irene or folks will think you're dead
