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

[Chorus]
Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, Goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams

[Verse 2]
Sometime I live in the country babe (yeah)
Sometime I live down tow-own (yeah)
Sometime I take a great notion (yeah)
To jump in the river and drown

[Chorus]
Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, Goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams

[Verse 2]
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
