(Huddie Ledbetter, John Lomax)

Last Saturday night I got married
|
Me and my wife settled down
|
But me and my wife have parted
|
I'm gonna take another stroll downtown
|
|
Irene goodnight (goodnight Irene)
|
Irene goodnight
|
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
|
I'll get you in my dream
|
|
Stop your ramblin'
|
Stop your gamblin'
|
Stop stayin' out late, late at night
|
Go home to your wife and your family
|
Sit down by your fireside so bright
|
|
Irene goodnight (Irene)
|
Irene goodnight
|
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
|
I'll get you in my dream
|
|
I love Irene and I swear I do (yes)
|
Love 'er, love 'er, love 'er, love 'er, love 'er
|
Love 'er, love 'er, love 'er, love 'er
|
Still the sea runs dry
|
And if Irene ever turns her back on me
|
I'm gonna take morphine and die
|
|
Irene goodnight
|
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
|
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
|
Irene goodnight
|
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
|
I'll get you in my dream
|
