Irene

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

Sometimes I live in the country

Sometimes I live in town

Sometimes I take a great notion

To jump into the river and drown

I love Irene God knows I do

I'll love her till the seas run dry

But if Irene should turn me down

I'd take the **** and die

Stop rambling stop your gambling

Stop staying out late at night

Go home to your wife and your family

Stay there by your fireside bright
