Goodnight Irene Lyrics
Irene, goodnightIrene, goodnight
Goodnight, Irene
Goodnight, Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
Last Saturday night I got married
Me and my wife settle down
Now me and my wife are parted
Gonna take another stroll down town
Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in the town
Sometimes I take a fool notion
To jump in the river and drown
Stop rambling, stop your gambling
Stop staying out late at night
Go home to your wife and your family
And stay by your fireside bright
