Goodnight Irene
by Paul Chamberlain
10-17-99

The devil laughs at David,
Now taking on God's work.
To think that he, can so deceive,
The sin he intends to shirk.

But Irene sings, through bloodline strings,
And, just as winter's over,
New life springs, by angel's wings,
Like flowers among the clover.

Then, as they grow and come to know,
The history over time,
They beautify, for those who die,
The truth behind old crime.
