Goodnight Irene

Well, Irene goodnight Irene

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 we are parted,

I think I'll go out on the town.

Cause sometimes I live in the country,

Sometimes I live in the town,

Sometimes I take that great notion

To jump in the river and drown.

Irene goodnight Irene

Irene goodnight

Goodnight Irene

Goodnight Irene

I'll see you in my dreams

I love Irene, God knows I do,

I'll love her 'til the seas run dry,

If Irene should ever turn me down,

I'd take morphine and die.

Irene goodnight Irene

Irene goodnight

Goodnight Irene

Goodnight Irene

I'll see you in my dreams

Stop rambling, stop your gambling,

Stop staying out all the night,

Go home to your wife and baby,

And stay by your fireside bright.

So Irene goodnight Irene

Irene goodnight

Goodnight Irene

Goodnight Irene

I'll see you in my dreams

Goodnight Irene

Goodnight Irene

I'll see you in my dreams
