[Chorus: Both, Red Foley, & Ernest Tubb]
Irene goodnight
Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene
Goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams

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

[Chorus: Both, Red Foley, & Ernest Tubb]
Irene goodnight
Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene
Goodnight Irene
I’ll see you in my dreams

[Verse 2: Ernest Tubb]
Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in the town
Sometimes I take a fool notion
To jump in the river and drown
[Chorus: Both, Red Foley, & Ernest Tubb]
Irene goodnight
Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene
Goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams

[Verse 3: Ernest Tubb & Red Foley]
Stop rambling, stop your gambling
Stop staying out late at night
Go home to your wife and family
And stay by the fire side bright

[Chorus: Both, Red Foley, & Ernest Tubb]
Irene goodnight
Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene
Goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams

[Outro: Both]
I’ll see you in my dreams
