Notes from the Composer/Arranger:
OY520 Goodnight Ireen Medium level:

Medium arrangement for accordion by Yehuda Oppenheimer.

"Goodnight, Irene" or "Irene, Goodnight," is a 20th-century American folk standard, written in 3/4 time, first recorded by American blues musician Huddie 'Lead Belly' Ledbetter in 1933.

The specific origins of "Irene" are unclear. Lead Belly was singing a version of the song from as early as 1908, which he claimed to have learned from his uncles Terell and Bob.
