Wake Up, Irene - Hank Thompson & His Brazos Valley Boys
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 were 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
Wakeup Irene you've sleep
To long Wakeup Irene
It's time to move along
Wakeup Irene and pay
For your bed Wakeup Irene
Or folks will think your dead
Lot's of guitar pickers
By the dozen
Sang goodnight Irene
All night and day
And even Crosby too with
His bobobabobe 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
Come man you ought to hear that women snore
Wakeup Irene you've sleep to long
Wakeup Irene it's time to move along
Wakeup Irene and pay for your bed
Wakeup Irene or folks will think your dead
