Goodnight Irene (F.Ledbetter)
I found the score in the Alan Lomax's book "The folk songs of North America". I didn´t know about the story of its composer Huddie Ledbetter which is quite particular (convicted by murder to the folk scene). I tried to do all my best because it´s just a lovely theme. I hope you enjoy this single performance.

Totally agree Mathew, it´s just a lovely and genuine tune. In the Alan Lomax´s book they explain how they met Ledbetter while they were recording truly folk songs on the county jails.

Totally right Paul! My apologies! It was an awful mistake.
