Lyrics Van Morrison

Van Morrison

Goodnight Irene

Last saturday night I got married

Me and my wife settled down

But me and my wife have parted

Im gonna take another stroll downtown

Irene goodnight (goodnight irene)

Irene goodnight

Goodnight irene, goodnight irene

Ill 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

Ill 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

Im gonna take morphine and die

Irene goodnight

Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight

Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight

Irene goodnight

Goodnight irene, goodnight irene

Ill get you in my dream
