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 settled down
Now, me and my wife are parted
Gonna take a little stroll downtown

Irene, goodnight. Irene, goodnight Goodnight, Irene
Goodnight, Irene. I'll see you in my dreams

Yeah, sometimes I live in the country
And sometimes I live in town
Yeah, and sometimes I take a great notion
I'm gonna jump in the river and drown

Irene, goodnight. Irene, goodnight Goodnight, Irene
Goodnight, Irene. I'll see you in my dreams

Stop ramblin'. Stop that gamblin'
Stop staying out late at night
Go home to your wife and family
Stay there by the fireside, bright
Irene, goodnight. Irene, goodnight Goodnight, Irene
Goodnight, Irene. I'll see you in my dreams

Goodnight, Irene. Goodnight, Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
