Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Irene, goodnight
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight, Irene, goodnight, Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
[Verse 2]
Last Saturday night I got married
Me and my wife settled down
Now me and my wife are parted
Gonna take another stroll downtown
[Verse 3]
Irene, goodnight
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight, Irene, goodnight, Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
[Verse 4]
Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in the town
Sometimes I take up a notion
To jump in the river and drown
[Verse 5]
Irene, goodnight
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight, Irene, goodnight, Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
[Verse 6]
Stop ramblin', stop your gamblin'
Stop stayin' out late at night
Go home to your wife and family
And stay by your far side bride
[Verse 7]
Irene, goodnight
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight, Irene, goodnight, Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
[Verse 8]
I'll see you in my dreams
