Goodnight Irene

Richards Keith

Well, Irene goodnight Irene
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 we are parted,
I think I'll go out on the town.

Cause sometimes I live in the country,
Sometimes I live in the town,
Sometimes I take that great notion
To jump in the river and drown.

Irene goodnight Irene
Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene 
Goodnight Irene 
I'll see you in my dreams

I love Irene, God knows I do,
I'll love her 'til the seas run dry,
If Irene should ever  turn me down,
I'd take morphine and die.

Irene goodnight Irene
Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene 
Goodnight Irene 
I'll see you in my dreams

Stop rambling, stop your gambling,
Stop staying out all the night,
Go home to your wife and baby,
And  stay by your fireside bright.

So Irene goodnight Irene
Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene 
Goodnight Irene 
I'll see you in my dreams
Goodnight Irene 
Goodnight Irene 
I'll see you in my dreams
