Goodnight Irene

Huddie Ledbetter/John Lomax

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

Irene, goodnight. Irene, goodnight Goodnight, Irene

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

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

Irene, goodnight. Irene, goodnight Goodnight, Irene

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

Stop ramblin'. Stop that gamblin'

Stop staying out late at night

Go home to your wife and family

Stay there by the fireside, bright

Irene, goodnight. Irene, goodnight Goodnight, Irene

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

Goodnight, Irene. Goodnight, Irene

I'll see you in my dreams
