Goodnight Irene lyrics

Irene, goodnight

Irene, goodnight

Goodnight, Irene, goodnight, Irene

I will see 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 will see you in my dreams

Stop rambling, stop gambling

Stop staying out late at night

Go home to your wife and your family

And stay by the fireside bright

Irene, goodnight

Irene, goodnight

Goodnight, Irene, goodnight, Irene

I will see you in my dreams
