I have a good old northern soul version of Good Night Irene by The Originals, a couple by Ry Cooder (one studio, one live) and the Pogues version off JLTITE.


I only asked :D

Originally a Leadbelly song it has been covered by Johnny Cash, Eric Clapton, Steve Earl, Jim Reeves,Willie Nelson, Little Richard and Jimi Hendrix among others. Need to correct another post though, the only time you will here this sung at Ashton Gate is when Bristol Rovers play there as it is the Rovers anthem. Been singing it since the 50's. As a mad Rovers and Pogues fan was particularly pleased Shane chose to cover this.

I have an LP copy of "Folkaways: A Vision Shared. A Tribute to Woodie Guthrie and Leadbelly" with that song on it sung by Brian Wilson. Words and Music are attributed to Huddie Ledbetter (Leadbelly) and John C. Lomax.

Here is some interesting information on it: http://www.hlmusic.com/goodnigh.htm


Goodnight Irene is, for some weird reason, sung by Bristol Rovers football fans.

I suppose the version of Where Did You Sleep Last Night that everyone knows is on Nirvana Unplugged. It's also covered by English folkies Coope, Boyes and Simpson.

Could be the ska classic by Toots & The Maytals covered by the Specials


Yes, thanks for the reminder. Lynval sang.

We did "Goodnight Irene" as a final encore during St Patrick's Week 1988, as a grand finale for all participants in the show - Pogues, Kirsty, Joe, After Tonite, Lynval Golding, Steve Earle, Mary Coughlan, whoever was on that night. Paul Scully finally recorded it at Brixton on the last night (the other shows were all at the Town and Country aka The Forum) but the tape ran out before the end. So if there is a bootleg version out there, it is likely to be the only version in existence. As far as anyone can tell it's a Leadbelly song, though it is sometimes mistakenly credited to Woody Guthrie.
