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 have parted
I'm 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 great 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 my gambling
Stop staying out late at night
Go home to your wife and family
Stay there by your fire side bright
Irene goodnight Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene I'll see you in my dreams
(Irene goodnight Irene goodnight)
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene I'll see you in my dreams
Goodnight Irene
