Lyrics:

Irene goodnight
Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
Well, last Saturday night I got married
Me and my wife settled down
Well, now me and my wife are parted
I'm gonna take another stroll downtown, sing it out
Irene goodnight
Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
Some folks, they like their sugar
And some folks, they like their wine
Some folks love their music
And they sing it all the time
Oh, ooh, Irene goodnight
Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
Stop your rambling
Why don't you stop your gambling?
Well, stop your staying out so late at night
Go home to your wife and family
Stay there by the fireside, bright
Oh, Irene goodnight
Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
Oh, goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dream
