Irene, goodnight
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight, Irene
Goodnight, Irene,
I get you in my dreams
Sometimes I live in the country,
sometimes I live in town
Sometimes I take a great notion,
to jump into the river and drown
Irene, goodnight
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight, Irene
Goodnight, Irene,
I get you in my dreams
Stop rambling, stop your gambling,
stop staying out late at night
Go home to your wife and your family,
sit down by the fireside bright
Irene, goodnight
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight, Irene
Goodnight, Irene,
I get you in my dreams
Last 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 get you in my dreams
I love Irene, God knows I do,
I`ll love her till the seas run dry
But if Irene should turn me down,
I`d take the morphine and die
Irene, goodnight
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight, Irene
Goodnight, Irene,
I get you in my dreams
