Irene I'm leaving
Yes Irene I'm leaving
But Irene don't be grieving,
It's just time to get on board
I'm going to meet him
Meet my lord in heaven
Ain't no time for packing,
It's just time to get on board
When he comes a calling,
Ain't nothing you can do but turn and go

[break]

I'm going to heaven
Yes I'm going to heaven
Like a 747 flown by the lord
When he comes a calling,
Ain't nothing you can do but turn and go

Irene I'm leaving
Yes Irene I'm leaving
Yes Irene I'm leaving
Yes Irene I'm leaving
