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
