Goodnight Irene

(album: Once Upon A Time - 1969)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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