Traditional
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 done parted
Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in town
Sometime I get the notion
To jump in the river and drown
Stop your rambling, stop your gambling
Quit staying out late at night
Go home to your wife and your family
Stay by the fire side bright
I love Irene good knows I do
Love her to the seas run dry
If Irene should quit me
I'll take morphine and drown
