Goodnight Irene lyrics

[Verse 1]
Last Saturday night I got married
Me and my wife settled down
Now me and my wife are parted
Gonna take another stroll downtown

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

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in town
Sometimes I take a fool notion
To jump in the river and drown

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

[Verse 3]
Stop your rambling, stop your gambling
Stop staying out late at night
Go home to your wife and family
Stay there by the fireside bright
[Chorus]
Irene, goodnight
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight, Irene, goodnight, Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
