When I asked your mother for you
She told me you were too young
Now I wish I had never even seen your face
Or heard your lying tongue
So Saturday night I got married
Me and my wife settled down
Now me and my wife are parted
I`m gonna take another stroll downtown
Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I`ll see you in my dream
Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in town
Sometimes I have a great notion
To jump into the river and drown
Oh, stop your carousin`, stop you gamblin`
Stayin out late at night
Go home to your wife and family
Sit down by the fireside, bright
Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I`ll see you in my dream
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I`ll see you in my dreams...
