Original lyrics
ENChorus:
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. Gonna take a little stroll
downtown.
(Chorus)
Yeah, sometimes I live in the country and sometimes I live in
town.
Yeah, and sometimes I take a great notion I'm gonna jump in the
river and drown.
(Chorus)
Stop ramblin'. Stop that gamblin'. Stop staying out late at
night.
Go home to your wife and family. Stay there by the fireside,
bright.
(Chorus)
Goodnight, Irene. Goodnight, Irene. I'll see you in my dreams.
