Lyrics

Irene, Goodnight* Irene, Goodnight Goodnight Irene, Goodnight Irene, I'll see you in my dreams. Last Saturday night I got married Me and my wife settled down Me and my wife have parted Gonna take another stroll down town. Sometimes I live in the country Sometimes I live in town Sometimes I take a fool notion To jump in the river and drown. Stop ramblin', stop gamblin' Stop stayin' out late at night Go home to your wife and family And stay by the fireside bright.
