Irene, I'm leavin'

Yes, Irene, I'm leavin'

 But, Irene, don't be grievin'

 It's just time to get on board

I'm goin' to meet him

Meet my lord in heaven

 Ain't no time for packin'

 It's just time to get on board

When he comes a-callin'

 Ain't nothin' you can do but turn and go

Solo

I'm goin' to heaven

Yes, I'm goin' to heaven

 Like a 747

 Flown by the lord

When he comes a-callin'

 Ain't nothin' you can do but turn and go

Irene, I'm leavin'

Yes, Irene, I'm leavin'

Yes, Irene, I'm leavin'

Yes, Irene, I'm leavin'
