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
now, me and my wife are parted
i'm gonna take another stroll downtown
 
sometimes i live in the country
sometimes i live in town
sometimes i take a great notion
to jump into the river and drown
 
you caused me to weep
you caused me to mourn
you caused me to leave my home
but the very last words i heard her say:
"won't you please sing me one more song?"
 
stop your ramblin'
stop your gamblin'
stop stayin' out late at night
go home to your wife and your family
stay there, by your fireside bright
