Goodnight Irene lyrics

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...
