Goodnight Irene Lyrics

Irene good night, Irene good night
Good night Irene, good night 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 are parted,
I'm gonna take another stroll downtown

Irene good night, Irene good night
Good night Irene, good night 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 into the river and drown
Irene good night, Irene good night
Good night Irene, good night Irene
I'll see you in my dreams

I love Irene, God knows I do,
I'll love her till the seas run dry
But if Irene turns her back on me,
I'd take the morphine and die
Irene good night, Irene good night
Good night Irene, good night Irene
I'll see you in my dreams

Stop rambling , stop your gambling,
stop staying out late at night
Go home to your wife and your family,
stay there by your fireside bright.

Irene good night, Irene good night
Good night Irene, good night Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
