Lyrics:
Huddie Ledbetter was a helluva man
Huddie got his music from the
Heart of the land in his voice you could
Hear John Henry's hammering
While his hands
Huddie Ledbetter/John Lomax
Chorus:
Irene, goodnight. Irene, goodnight Goodnight, Irene. Goodnight, Irene. I'll see you in my dreams.
Last Saturday
Written by Woodie Guthrie, Huddie Ledbetter & Alan Lomax
Ramblin' round your city
Ramblin' round your town
But I never see a friend I know
As I go
born again
To be born again
There you go
Standin' with the look of avarice
Talkin' to Huddie Ledbetter
Showin' pictures on the wall
Whisperin' in
Who made up this song
Tell 'em Huddie Ledbetter's
Done been here and gone, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Mm, mhm
(huddie ledbetter/turner)
Keep your hands off her
Keep them big mitts down
Keep your hands off her
So keep them big mitts down
So keep your hands
silence easy
To be born again
To be born again
There you go
Standin' with the look of avarice
Talkin' to Huddie Ledbetter
Showin' pictures on the wall
(Huddie Ledbetter)
(D) - (A) - (C) - (E)
(D) On a Monday, I was are (A) rested
On a Tuesday, I was locked up in (D) jail
On a Wednesday, my trial
(huddie ledbetter/turner)
Keep your hands off her
Keep them big mitts down
Keep your hands off her
So keep them big mitts down
So keep your hands
should ask you
Who made up this song
Tell 'em Huddie Ledbetter
Done been here and gone
Follow me down,
Follow me down,
Follow me down
By Mr Tom
(Huddie Ledbetter/John Lomax)

She told me that you was too (E) young
I wish dear (E7)
