Irene goodnight
Irene goodnight goodnight irene
Good night 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 have parted
Gonna take another stroll down town

Sometimes i live in the country
Sometimes i live in town
Sometimes i take a fool notion
To jump in the river and drown

Stop rambling stop gambling
Stop staying out late at night
Go home to your wife and family
And stay by the fireside bright
