Goodnight Irene
Saturday night we got married (yeah)
Me and my wife settled down (yeah)
Now me and my wife we're parted (yeah)
Going to take another stroll down town

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

Stop gambling and stop all the rambling (yeah)
Stop staying out late at night (yeah)
Go home to your wife and your family (yeah)
Sit down by the fireside bright
[Chorus]
Sing everybody
Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, Goodnight Irene
I'll see you in
