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

Last Saturday I got married
Me and y wife settled down
Now me and my wife we are parted
I think I'll go out on the town

Cause sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in the town
Sometimes I take that great notion
to jump in the river and drown

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

I love Irene, God knows I do
I'll love her till the seas run dry
If Irene should ever turn me down
I'd take mirphine and die

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

Stop rambling, stop gambling
Stop staying out all night
Go home to your wife and your baby
And syay by your fireside bright

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