Goodnight Irene

[Intro]
                (x2)

[Verse 1]
                       
Last Saturday night I got married
                         
Yes, me and my wife settled down
                      
Now me and my wife have parted
                         
I m gonna take another look downtown


[Chorus]

Irene, goodnight
     
Goodnight Irene
                     
Goodnight Irene, goodnight

                (x2)


[Verse 2]
                           
Well, sometimes I live in the country
                           
Yes, and sometimes I live downtown
                       
Sometimes I get a foolish notion
                      
To jump in the water and drown


[Chorus]

Irene, goodnight
     
Goodnight Irene
                     
Goodnight Irene, goodnight

                (x2)


[Verse 3]
               
Stop your ramblin
           
Stop your gamblin
                           
Stop your staying up late at night
                      
Go home to your wife and family
                       
And sleep by the fireside bright


[Chorus]

Irene, goodnight
     
Goodnight Irene
                     
Goodnight Irene, goodnight

                (x2)

[Outro]
                (x2)
