Текст песни: Irene + перевод

Last night I dreamed that we were back

down by the railroad tracks

smoking Marlboro cigarettes

we threw our shoes into the river

and our mothers called each other, wondering where the kids were

'cause they woke up and we were gone

we were running down the parkway singing some old gypsy song

Goodnight Irene, Goodnight Irene

I swear this world ain’t as sad as the papers make it seem

and in the morning we’ll all be fine

so if you’re scared darling, put your little hand in mine

All the grown ups standing in the other room

they were talking about money

and what’s happening on the news

but we were laughing about nothing

we were sitting in the kitchen drinking rum

and eating dandelion soup

and it was true

we didn’t give a damn that we could fill an ocean with the things we never knew

I was sleeping in the back of the bar

with my head on Mama’s shoulder

and my Elvis playing cards

All the old men

they were smoking and drinking

the band was playing

my daddy’s singing
