Goodnight Irene
[Chorus:]
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.
[Repeat Chorus:]
Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in town
Sometimes I take a fool notion
To jump in the river and drown.
[Repeat Chorus:]
Stop ramblin', stop gamblin'
Stop stayin' out late at night
Go home to your wife and family
And stay by the fireside bright.
[Repeat Chorus:]
