Goodnight Irene
Saturday night, we got married (yeah)
Me and my wife settled down (yeah)
Now me and my wife, we're parted (yeah)
Gonna take another stroll downtown
Irene, goodnight
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight, Irene
Goodnight, Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
Sometime I live in the country, babe (yeah)
Sometime I live downtown (yeah)
Sometime I take a great notion (yeah)
To jump in the river and drown
Irene, goodnight
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight, Irene
Goodnight, Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
Stop gamblin' and stop all the ramblin' (yeah)
Stop stayin' out late at night (yeah)
Go home to your wife and your family (yeah)
Sit down by the fireside bright (sing it everybody)
Irene, goodnight
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight, Irene
Goodnight, Irene
I'll see you in my dream (sing it along now)
