[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

[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

[Repeat Chorus]
