Goodnight Irene Lyrics

Goodnight Irene

( Lead Belly )
Irene goodnight
Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams

Last saturday night I got married
Me and my man settled down
Now me and my old man have parted
I'm gonna take a stroll downtown
Oh 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
Oh Irene goodnight
Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams

Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
