Goodnight Irene

Good Night Irene - Pete Seeger/The North Carolina Ramblers

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 settled down

Now me and my wife are parted

I'm 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 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 caused me to leave

He caused me to mirror

But the lidd 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

Stop your rambling stop your gambling

Stop staying out late at night

Go home to your wife and you family

Stay 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
