Goodnight Irene
Lyrics
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 down town
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 down town (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 dreams
Sing it along now
Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
(Little more somethin' now)
Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
(Real sweet now)
Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
