Irene, goodnight, Irene goodnight,
Goodnight Irene, Goodnight Irene,
I guess you in my dreams

I asked your mother for you (what she tell him?)
She told me that she was too young (she's 18 years old)
I wished dear Lord that I'd never seen your face
I'm sorry, you 'ver were born (it broke his heart)

Irene, goodnight, Irene goodnight,
Goodnight Irene, Goodnight Irene,
I guess you in my dreams

Sometimes I live in the country,
Sometimes I live in town,
Sometimes I has a great notion,
Jumping in into the river and drown

Irene, goodnight, Irene goodnight,
Goodnight Irene, Goodnight Irene,
I guess you in my dreams

Stop rambling , and stop gambling,
Quit staying out late at night (whaddya gonna do?)
Go home to your wife and your family, (boy you oughta leave)
And stay down by your fireside bright (and keep 'em coming then)

Irene, goodnight, Irene goodnight,
Goodnight Irene, Goodnight Irene,
I guess you in my dreams

I love Irene, God knows I do, (too late)
I'll love her till the sea run dry
If Irene should turn me down, (whatcha gonna do?)
I'd take the morphine and die (she said go ahead and kill yourself then)

Irene, goodnight, Irene goodnight,
Goodnight Irene, Goodnight Irene,
I guess you in my dreams
