Goodnight Irene lyrics

[Chorus:]
Irene, goodnight. Irene, goodnight Goodnight, Irene
Goodnight, Irene. I'll see you in my dreams
Last Saturday night I got married
Me and my wife settled down
Now, me and my wife are parted
Gonna take a little stroll downtown

[Chorus]
Yeah, sometimes I live in the country
And sometimes I live in town
Yeah, and sometimes I take a great notion
I'm gonna jump in the river and drown

[Chorus]
Stop ramblin'. Stop that gamblin'
Stop staying out late at night
Go home to your wife and family
Stay there by the fireside, bright

[Chorus]
Goodnight, Irene. Goodnight, Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
