Tom Waits - Goodnight Irene lyrics

Irene good night Irene Irene good night Good night Irene Good night Irene I'll get you In my dreams Last Saturday night I got married Me and my wife settled down Now me and my wife are parted I'm gonna take me a little stroll uptown Irene good night Irene Irene good night Good night Irene Good night Irene I'll get you In my dreams Sometimes I live in the country Sometimes I live in town Sometimes I take a great notion To jump in the river and drown Irene good night Irene Irene good night Good night Irene Good night Irene I'll get you In my dreams I love Irene god knows I do I'll love her till the sea runs dry If she ever loves another Someone'll take morphine and die Irene good night Irene Irene good night Good night Irene Good night Irene I'll get you In my dreams Stop your rambling Stop your gambling Stop staying out late at night Go home to your wife and your family Sit down by the fire light Irene good night Irene Irene good night Good night Irene Good night Irene I'll get you In my dreams Irene good night Irene Irene good night Good night Irene Good night Irene I'll get you In my dreams
