Goodnight Irene Lyrics

Well Irene
Goodnight, Irene
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight Irene
Relax, Irene

[Verse One]
I'll see you in my dreams
Last Saturday night I got married
Me and the wife settled down
Now me and my wife we are parted

I think I'll go out on the town
'Cause sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in the town
Sometimes I take that great notion
To jump in the river and drown

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

[Verse Two]
I love Irene, God knows I do
I'll love her till the seas run dry
If Irene should ever turn me down
I'd take morphine and die

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

[Verse Three]
Stop rambling, stop gambling
Stop staying out all night
Go home to your wife and your baby
And stay by your fireside bright

[Chorus]
So Irene, goodnight Irene
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight Irene
Goodnight Irene

I'll see you in my dreams
Goodnight Irene
Relax, Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
