Irene, good night
Irene, good night
Good night, Irene
Good night, Irene
I'll see you, I'll see you in my dreams.

Last Saturday night I got lathered
Me and my wife settled down
Now me and my wife have parted
I'm going to take another stroll downtown.

Irene, good night
Irene, good night
Good night, Irene
Good night, Irene
I'll see you, I'll see you in my dreams.

Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live down town
Sometimes I took a great notion
I'm going to get me to the river and drown.

Irene, good night
Irene, good night
Good night, Irene
Good night, Irene
Gonna see you, gonna see you in my dreams...
