plays over and over, just the tempo picks up
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
I'm gonna take another stroll downtown
Stop rambling, stop your rambling
Stop staying out late at night
Go home to your wife and family
Stay there by your fireside bright
I love Irene God knows I do
Love her till the seas run dry
And if Irene turns her back on me
I'll take morphine and die
