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

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 great notion

To jump into the river and drown

Irene goodnight Irene goodnight

Goodnight Irene goodnight Irene

I'll see you in my dreams

Stop ramblin' stop gamblin'

Stop stayin' out late at night

Go home to your wife and family

Sit down by the fireside bright

Irene goodnight Irene goodnight

Goodnight Irene goodnight Irene

I'll see you in my dreams

Goodnight Irene goodnight Irene

I'll see you in my dreams

Goodnight Irene goodnight Irene

I'll see you in my dreams
