Lyrics

Goodnight Irene

[Verse 1] Last Saturday night, I got married Me and my wife settled down Now me and my wife are parted Gonna take another stroll downtown [Chorus] Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight Goodnight Irene, Goodnight Irene I'll see you in my dreams [Verse 2] Stop rambling, stop your gambling Stop staying out late at night Come home to your wife and your family And sit by the fire so bright [Chorus] [Verse 3] I love Irene, God knows I do Love her 'til the rivers run dry If Irene should ever turn her back on me Gonna take morphine and die [Chorus][x3]
