Irene, goodnight

Irene, goodnight

Goodnight, Irene

 Goodnight, Irene,

 I get you in my dreams

 Sometimes I live in the country,

sometimes I live in town

 Sometimes I take a great notion,

 to jump into the river and drown

Irene, goodnight

Irene, goodnight

Goodnight, Irene

 Goodnight, Irene,

 I get you in my dreams

Stop rambling, stop your gambling,

stop staying out late at night

 Go home to your wife and your family,

sit down by the fireside bright

Irene, goodnight

Irene, goodnight

Goodnight, Irene

 Goodnight, Irene,

 I get 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

Irene, goodnight

Irene, goodnight

Goodnight, Irene

 Goodnight, Irene,

 I get you in my dreams

 I love Irene, God knows I do,

I`ll love her till the seas run dry

 But if Irene should turn me down,

 I`d take the morphine and die

Irene, goodnight

Irene, goodnight

Goodnight, Irene

 Goodnight, Irene,

 I get you in my dreams
