Lyrics

Goodnight, Irene

[Verse 1: Roger Waters] Last Saturday night I got married Me and my wife settled down Now me and my woman has parted Think I'll take a stroll downtown [Chorus: Jess Wolfe, Holly Laessig, & Roger Waters] Irene, goodnight Irene, goodnight Goodnight, Irene Goodnight, Irene I'll see you in my dreams [Verse 2: Jess & Holly] Sometimes I live in the country Sometimes I live in the town Sometimes I take a great notion To jump in the river and drown [Chorus: Jess, Holly, & Roger] Irene, goodnight Irene, goodnight Goodnight, Irene Goodnight, Irene I'll see you in my dreams [Verse 3: Roger Waters] I love Irene, God knows I do I'll love her 'til seas run dry But if Irene turns her back on me Gonna take morphine and die [Chorus: Jess, Holly, & Roger] Irene, goodnight Irene, goodnight Goodnight, Irene Goodnight, Irene I'll see you in my dreams [Verse 4: Jess & Holly] Stop ramblin', stop gamblin' Stop staying out late at night Go home to your wife and your family Sit down by the fireside bright [Chorus: Jess, Holly, & Roger] Irene, goodnight Irene, goodnight Goodnight, Irene Goodnight, Irene I'll see you in my dreams [Outro: Jess & Holly] Goodnight, Irene Goodnight, Irene I'll see you in my dreams
