[Chorus:]
|
Irene, goodnight. Irene, goodnight Goodnight, Irene. Goodnight, Irene. I'll see you in my dreams.
|
|
Last Saturday night I got married. Me and my wife settled down.
|
Now, me and my wife are parted. Gonna take a little stroll downtown.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Yeah, sometimes I live in the country and sometimes I live in town.
|
Yeah, and sometimes I take a great notion I'm gonna jump in the river and drown.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Stop ramblin'. Stop that gamblin'. Stop staying out late at night.
|
Go home to your wife and family. Stay there by the fireside, bright.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Goodnight, Irene. Goodnight, Irene. I'll see you in my dreams.
