Irene Goodnight

Waltz · 3/4 · E major

Irene Goodnight is a well-known folk and blues standard whose exact origins remain traditional and uncertain. Played in a flowing 3/4 meter, the waltz features a gentle character and is traditionally performed with a relaxed, melodic touch well suited for social gatherings. The song gained widespread popularity and a firm place in American musical history through Lead Belly's 1930s recordings and a later chart-topping version by the Weavers.
