1) irene
-
last Saturday night i got married
me and my wife settled down
now me and my wife we are parted
gonna take a little stroll downtown
ref:
Irene, goodnight, Irene, goodnight
goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
i'll get you in my dreams.
stop your ramblin', stop your gamblin'
stop stayin' out so late every night
go home to your wife and your family
sit down by the fireside bright
Irene, goodnight, Irene, goodnight
goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
i'll see you in my dreams.
i love Irene, God knows i do
i'll love her till see runs dry
if Irene ever turns her back on me
i'll shoot a little morphine and die.
Irene, goodnight, Irene, goodnight
goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
i'll see you in my dreams.
sometimes i live in the country
most time i live in town
sometimes i take a great notion
to jump in the river [ Monadnock ] and drown
Irene, goodnight, Irene, goodnight
goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
i'll see you in my dreams.

4)
the holy city -
last night i lay a sleeping
there came a dream so fair
i stood in old Jerusalem
beside the temple there
i heard the children singing
and ever as they sang
methought the voice of angels
//: from heaven in answer rang ://
ref:
Jerusalem, Jerusalem
lift up gates and sing
hosanna in the highest
hosanna to your King
and then methought the scene was changed
the streets no longer rang
hushed were to glad hosannas
the little children sang
the sun grew dark with mystery
the morn was cold and chill
as the shadow of a cross arose
//: upon a lonely hill ://
Jerusalem, Jerusalem
hark how the angels sing
hosanna in the highest
hosanna to your King
and once again the scene was changed
new earth there seemed to be
me saw the Holy City
beside the tideless sea
the light of God was on its streets
the gates were open wide
and all who would might enter
//: and no one be denied ://
no need of moon or stars by night
or sun to shine by day
it was the new Jerusalem
//: that would not pass away ://
Jerusalem, Jerusalem
sing for the night is o'er
hosanna in the highest
//: hosanna to your forever more ://
