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 are parted.
 Gonna take a little stroll downtown.
 
 [Chorus]
 
 Yeah, sometimes I live in the country
 And sometimes I live in town.
 Yeah, and sometimes I take a great notion
 I'm gonna jump in the river and drown.
 
 [Chorus]
 
 Stop ramblin'. Stop that gamblin'.
 Stop staying out late at night.
 Go home to your wife and family.
 Stay there by the fireside, bright.
 
 [Chorus]
 
 Goodnight, Irene. Goodnight, Irene.
 I'll see you in my dreams.
