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
Some folks they like their sugar
Some folks they like their wine Some folks love their music And they sing it all the time
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
Goodnight irene, goodnight irene I'll see you in my dreams
