Goodnight, Irene or Irene, Goodnight is a 19th century song written and published as Goodnight, Irene in 1886 by Gussie Lord Davis an African American songwriter. The song (by then much altered) was first recorded (and claimed) in 1932 by American musician Huddie Leadbelly Ledbetter. The lyrics tell of the singer's troubled past with his love, Irene, and express his sadness and frustration.This true piece of musical Americana is scored for 4-part SATB ensemble with piano accompaniment. It makes for a great program closer, or audience participation number. Performance time: c.3:00+.
