Irene good-night, Irene good-night
Goodnight Ir-ene, good-night Ir-ene I ll see you in my dreams
Last Saturday night I got married me and my wife settled down
Now me and my wife have part-ed gonna take another stroll down town
Irene good-night, Irene good-night
Goodnight Ir-ene, good-night Ir-ene I ll see you in my dreams
Sometimes I live in the country sometimes I live in the town
Sometimes I have a great not-ion to jump into the river and drown
Irene good-night, Irene good-night

Quit your ramblin and quit your gamblin , quit stayin out late at night
Stay home with your wife and fam-ily sit down by the fireside bright

Goodnight Ir-ene, good-night Ir-ene I ll see you in my dreams
I asked your mother for you, she told me that you were too young
I wished to God I d never seen your face, I m sorry you ever were born
