Lyrics:

Irene good night
Goodnight Irene good night
Goodnight Irene Goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams

Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in town
Sometimes I take a good notion
I'm going to jump in the river and drown

Irene good night
Goodnight Irene good night
Goodnight Irene Goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams

[ harmonica ]

And sometimes I live up in Tulsa
I take a little trip down to Nashville too
If there's only one thing I get through to you in this life
It's just that I want to make love to you

Irene good night
Goodnight Irene good night
Goodnight Irene Goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
