Lead Belly
Goodnight, Irene, Goodnight
[Chorus]
Irene, good night
Irene, good night
Good night, Irene, good night, Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
Irene, good night
Irene, good night
Good night, Irene, good night, Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in town
Sometimes I have a great notion
To jump into the river and drown
[Chorus]
Irene, good night
Irene, good night
Good night, Irene, good night, Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
[Verse 3]
Ramblin', stop your gamblin'
Stop staying out late at night
Go home to your wife and your family
Sit down by the fireside bright
[Chorus]
Irene, good night
Irene, good night
Good night, Irene, good night, Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
Irene, good night
Irene, good night
Good night, Irene, good night, Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
