Lyrics
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'm gonna take another 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 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

Stop rambling Stop my gambling Stop staying out late at night Go home to your wife and family Stay there by your fire side 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

Goodnight Irene
