well,Irene goodnight
Irene goodnight
goodnight Irene,goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dream
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
Irene goodnight,Irene goodnight
goodnight Irene,goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dream

Sometimes I live in the country,
Sometimes I live in town,
Sometimes I take a great notion,
To jump into the river and drown,
well,Irene goodnight,Irene goodnight
goodnight Irene,goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dream
You caused me to weep, you caused me to mourn,
You caused me to leave my home.
But the very last words I heard her say,
Was please sing me one more song.
Irene goodnight,Irene goodnight
goodnight Irene,goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dream
Stop rambling,stop your gambling
Stop staying out late at night
Go home to your wife and your family
Stay down by your fireside bright
well,Irene goodnight,Irene goodnight
goodnight Irene,goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dream
goodnight Irene,goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dream...
