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 have parted I wanna take a little stroll downtown. Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene I'll see you in my dreams. Sometimes I live in the country Sometimes I live in the town Sometimes I take a great notion To jump in the river and drown.
Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene I'll see you in my dreams. Wait your rambling, wait your gambling Stop staying out late at night Stay home with your wife and family And stay fireside bright. Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene I'll see you in my dreams. Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene I'll see you in my dreams.
