Bobby Bare - Goodnight Irene lyrics

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 big notion To jump in the river and drown. And say Irene goodnight, Irene Irene goodnight Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene I'll see you in my dreams. I love Irene God knows I do love her till sea runs dry And if Irene turns her back on me I'll lay right down and I'll die. And say Irene goodnight, Irene Irene goodnight Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene I'll see you in my dreams. --- Instrumental --- Last Saturday night I got married Me and my wife settled down Now me and my wife just parted So I'll take another stroll downtown. Yeah, Irene goodnight, Irene Irene goodnight Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene I'll see you in my dreams. Hey, rambler stop your ramblin' Stop stayin' out late at night Go home to your wife and the family Stay by the fireside bright. Yeah, Irene goodnight, Irene Irene goodnight Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene I'll see you in my dreams. --- Instrumental --- Irene, goodnight Irene Irene goodnight Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene I'll see you in my dreams. Irene, goodnight Irene Irene goodnight Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene I'll see you in my dreams...
