Irene goodni-i-ight, 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
I'm gonna take another stroll down town

Irene goodni-i-ight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I’ll see you in my dreams

Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in the town
Sometimes I have a great notion
To jump into the river and drown

Irene goodni-i-ight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I’ll see you in my dreams

Stop ramblin’, stop your gamblin’
Stop stayin’ out late a-at night
Go home to your wife and your fam'ly
Sit down by the fireside bright

Irene goodni-i-ight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I’ll see you in my dreams

Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I’ll see - you - in - my - dreams...
