Goodnight Irene Songtext / Lyric

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



Stop ramblin', stop your gamblin'

Stop stayin'out late at night

Come home to your wife and your family

And sit by the fire so bright






Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight

Goodnight Irene, Goodnight Irene

I'll see you in my dreams



I love Irene, God knows I do

Love her 'til the rivers run dry

If irene should ever turn her back on me

Gonna take morphine and die



Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight

Goodnight Irene, Goodnight Irene

I'll see you in my dreams

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
