Lyrics Goodnight, Irene - Weavers

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 down 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
Well 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
Stop ramblin′, stop your gamblin′
Stop stayin' out late at night
Go home to your wife and your 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
