Lyrics:

Well Irene
Goodnight, Irene
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight Irene
Relax, Irene

(Verse One)
I'll see you in my dreams
Last Saturday night I got married
Me and the wife settled down
Now me and my wife we are parted
I think I'll go out on the town
Cause sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in the town
Sometimes I take that great notion
To jump in the river and drown

(Chorus)
Irene, goodnight Irene
Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene
Relax, Irene
I'll see you in my dreams

(Verse Two)
I love Irene, God knows I do
I'll love her till the seas run dry
If Irene should ever turn me down
I'd take morphine and die

(Chorus)
Irene, goodnight Irene
Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene
Relax, Irene
I'll see you in my dreams

(Verse Three)
Stop rambling, stop gambling
Stop staying out all night
Go home to your wife and your baby
And stay by your fireside bright

(Chorus)
So Irene, goodnight Irene
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight Irene
Goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
Goodnight Irene
Relax, Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
