(chorus)

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 settle down,,

Now me and my wife are parted,

I'm gonna take another stroll in town.



(repeat chorus)



Sometimes I live in the country,

Sometimes I live in town,

Sometimes I have a great notion,

To jump in the river and drown.



(end song with chorus repeat)
