Goodnight Irene

Goodnight Irene

(album: Orphans: Disc 2 - Bawlers - 2006)

[Chorus:]
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.

[Chorus]

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.

[Chorus]

Stop rambling. Stop that gambling.
Stop staying out late at night.
Go home to your wife and family.
Stay there by the fireside, bright.

[Chorus]

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