(LeadbetterLomax)

[Chorus:]

Irene, goodnight

Irene, goodnight

Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene

I'll see you in my dreams



Well last saturday night I got married,

Me and my wife settled down

Well now me and my wife are parted,

I'm gonna take another stroll downtown



[Chorus]



Some folks they like their sugar

Some folks they like their wine

Some folks love their music

And they sing it all the time



[Chorus]



Stop your rambling, why don't you stop your gambling

Well stop your staying out so late at night

Go home to your wife and family

Stay there by the fireside bright



[Chorus]



Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene

I'll see you in my dreams
