Goodnight Irene

(Huddie Ledbetter - John A. Lomax)

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
Me and my wife have parted
Gonna take another stroll downtown.

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

Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in town
Sometimes I take a big notion
To jump in the river and drown.

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

Stop rambling, stop gambling
Stop staying out late at night
Go home to your wife and family
And stay by the fire side bright.

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

I'll see you in my dreams...
