Goodnight Irene lyrics

Last Saturday night I got married
Me and my wife settled down
Now 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 fool notion
To jump in the river and drown

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

Stop your ramblin'
Stop your gamblin'
Stop stayin' out late at night
Go home to your wife and family
Stay there by the fireside bright

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