(chorus) 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. (repeat chorus) Sometimes I live in the country, Sometimes I live in town, Sometimes I have a great notion, To jump in the river and drown.
