[Chorus] Irene, goodnight Irene, goodnight Goodnight, Irene Goodnight, Irene I'll see you in my dreams [Verse 1] Last Saturday night I got married Me and my wife settled down Now, me and my wife are parted I'm gonna take another stroll downtown [Chorus] Irene, goodnight Irene, goodnight Goodnight, Irene Goodnight, Irene I'll see you in my dreams [Verse 2] Sometimes I live in the country Sometimes I live in town Sometimes I take a great notion To jump into the river and drown [Chorus] Irene, goodnight Irene, goodnight Goodnight, Irene Goodnight, Irene I'll see you in my dreams [Chorus] Stop ramblin', stop your gamblin' Stop staying out late at night Go home to your wife and family Stay there by your fireside, bright [Chorus] Irene, goodnight Irene, goodnight Goodnight, Irene Goodnight, Irene I'll see you in my dreams
