Lyrics:

(chorus)
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 settle down,,
Now me and my wife are parted
I'm gonna take another stroll in town

(repeat chorus)
Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in town
Sometimes I have a great notion
To jump in the river and drown
