Lyrics:

Irene, goodnight, Irene. 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 parting
I want to jump overboard in a river and drown

Sometimes I live in the country
And sometimes I live in the town
Then again sometimes I take a few notions
I want to jump overboard in a river and drown
