The Weavers - Goodnight Irene mp3 download

My grandmother would always add the lyric: “Sometimes she sleeps in pajamas, Sometimes she sleeps in a gown, But when they’re both in the laundry, Irene is the talk of the town”

the brick port ballad

I used to sing this song to a wee lassie named irene in 1950 … yes, 1950

Marvellous group. RIP all 4 of them.

The lady has a very beautiful voice!

This song was taken over by old boxers and martial artists.

The Weavers were outspoken advocates for unions, fair labor wages, women’s rights, equality for minorities, public colleges, social security, and Medicare for all. Sen Joe McCarthy and his thugs labeled them communists. It ended their career as the Weavers, but they never gave up fighting on the right side of history. RIP Pete

When I became pregnant with our first child(and only), my husband would sing this song for our child, kissing my growing belly. He was certain that we were having a girl, and we would have named her Irene.I was certain that we were going to have a boy. And I was right! We have our healthy, happy little Liam. We still sing this song for him most nights

Loved the introductory tribute to Leadbelly! Rest in peace all legends..

Some say the weavers were. Russian spies. Lol At that time we did have alot of spies living next door to,you. In this great country

A high school friend of mine back in the 1970s was a first cousin once removed of Fred Hellerman. Does that qualify me as a celebrity?
