Lets get the government off the backs of business and america and let the free market fix the mess left behind by Hurricane Irene.

Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene I'll see you in my dreams Last saturday night I got married Me and my love settled down Now me and my love are parted I'm gonna take another stroll downtown Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene I'll see you in my dreams Sometimes I live in the country Sometimes I live in the town Sometimes I have a great notion To jump In the river and drown Irene goodnight, Irene good night Good night Irene, good night Irene I'll see you in my dreams Ramblin' stop your gamblin' Stop stayin' out late at night Go home to your wife and your family Sit down by the fireside bright Irene goodnight, Irene good night Good night Irene, good night Irene I'll see you in my dreams Irene goodnight, Irene good night Good night Irene, good night Irene I'll see you in my dreams Musician; born near Morringsport, La. A legendary singer and guitarist, he was raised near Shreveport, La., worked on farms in Texas, and began performing in Dallas, Texas, as a protégé of Blind Lemon Jefferson in the 1910s. (Leadbelly got his own nickname because of his deep bass voice.) In 1917 he was sentenced to prison on a murder conviction; eight years later he literally sang a plea of mercy to the Texas governor and was pardoned. A similar episode occurred in 1935: In 1930 he had been sentenced to ten years for wounding a group of men with a knife; in 1934 Leadbelly composed a song for the Louisiana governor, and, with the intervention of the folklorists John and Alan Lomax, won a reprieve. Over the next year, Leadbelly traveled with John Lomax and recorded hundreds of songs that formed a cornerstone of the Library of Congress folklore archives. In 1938 he moved permanently to New York City, where he recorded for Columbia Records and became a celebrated figure in literary and political circles. His best-known songs include "Irene, Good Night," "Rock Island Line," and "Midnight Special." |
