Tom Waits - Orphans

Goodnight Irene

Irene, goodnight Irene
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll kiss you in my dreams

Last Saturday night I got married
Me and my wife settled down
Now, me and my wife are parted
I'm gonna take me a little stroll uptown

Irene, goodnight Irene
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll kiss you in my dreams

Oh, sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in town
Sometimes I take a great notion
To jump in the river and drown

Irene, goodnight Irene
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll kiss you in my dreams

Well, I love Irene, God knows I do
I'll love her till the sea runs dry
If she ever loves another
I'm gonna take morphine and die

Oh, Irene, goodnight Irene
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll kiss you in my dreams

Stop your ramblin', stop your gamblin'
Stop staying out late at night
Go home to your wife and your family
Sit down by the firelight (everybody)

Irene, goodnight Irene
Irene, goodnight
Oh, goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll kiss you in my dreams

Oh, Irene, goodnight Irene
Irene, goodnight
Oh, goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll kiss you in my dreams
