Thread Name: Lyr Add: Goodnight Irene (parodies)
Subject: RE: Goodnight Irene - Adult Version
Irene was always a very adult song to me---being about possible murder suicide (morphine, drowning) if she doesn't return his love for her. --- That said, I've always figured I would possibly want it sung at my funeral! ;-)
