Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight

Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene

I'll see you in my dreams



Last saturday night I got married

Me and my love settled down

Now me and my love are parted

I'm gonna take another stroll downtown



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 the town

Sometimes I have a great notion

To jump In the river and drown



Irene goodnight, Irene good night

Good night Irene, good night Irene

I'll see you in my dreams



Ramblin' stop your gamblin'

Stop stayin' out late at night

Go home to your wife and your family

Sit down by the fireside bright



Irene goodnight, Irene good night

Good night Irene, good night Irene

I'll see you in my dreams



Irene goodnight, Irene good night

Good night Irene, good night Irene

I'll see you in my dreams
