Good Night Irene - The Weavers

Written by：Huddie Ledbetter/John A Lomax

Well 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 settle down

Now me and my wife are parted

I'm gonna take another stroll in town

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

Irene goodnight

Irene goodnight

Goodnight Irene

Goodnight Irene

I'll see you in my dreams

You cause me to weep

You cause me to mourn

You cause me to leave my home

But the very last words I heard her say

Was "Please sing me one more song"

Irene goodnight

Irene goodnight

Goodnight Irene

Goodnight Irene

I'll see you in my dreams

Quit ramblin' and quit gamblin'

Stop stayin' out late at night

Go home to your wife and your family

Sit there by your fireside 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
