[Chorus:] 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.
