well irene goodnight
irene goodnight
goodnight irene goodnight irene
i'll see you in my dreams
well 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
well 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 great notion
to jump into the river and drown
well irene goodnight
irene goodnight
goodnight irene goodnight irene
i'll see you in my dreams
i love irene
lord knows i do love her till the seas run dry
but if irene turns her back on me
i'm gonna take ** and die
well irene goodnight
irene goodnight
goodnight irene goodnight irene
i'll see you in my dream
stop rambling
stop gambling
takes all the pleasure out of life
stop staying out late at night you tell
go home to your wives and your families
and stay there by the firesides bright
well irene goodnight
irene goodnight
goodnight irene goodnight irene
i'll see you in my dreams
goodnight irene goodnight irene
i'll see you in my dreams
