(Huddie Ledbetter - John A. Lomax) 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 Me and my wife have parted Gonna take another stroll downtown. Irene goodnight Irene goodnight Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene I'll see you in my dreams. Sometimes I live in the country Sometimes I live in town Sometimes I take a big notion To jump in the river and drown. Irene goodnight Irene goodnight Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene I'll see you in my dreams. Stop rambling, stop gambling Stop staying out late at night Go home to your wife and family And stay by the fire side bright. Irene goodnight Irene goodnight Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene I'll see you in my dreams. I'll see you in my dreams...
