Story behind the song
Written as an assignment. It is about my Aunt.
Lyrics
Goodnight Irene
I sent my sisters emails and asked what they remembered about Irene
We always sang along when the radio played “Goodnight Irene”
They reminded me when mother died, she tried to be there for me
The last of our parent’s generation. Goodbye Irene
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
Goodnight Irene, goodbye Irene
Complicated Jell-O molds, casseroles and cookies by the tray
When she would came to visit us for the holidays
Clothes for us boys and girls, she really knew how to sew
Dad asked her to marry but she was smart enough to say no
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
Goodnight Irene, goodbye Irene
Some people find love easily, but not Aunt Irene
She smoked a lot of cigarettes and drank too much caffeine
For one who talked so much, she had a wall of privacy
Never spoke of her divorce. Goodbye Irene
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
Goodnight Irene, goodbye Irene
