R: Irene, goodnight
   Irene, goodnight
   Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
   I'll see you in my dreams 
   
1. Well last saturday night I got married,
   Me and my wife settled down
   Well now me and my wife are parted,
   I'm gonna take another stroll downtown 
R: 
   
2. Some folks they like their sugar
   Some folks they like their wine
   Some folks love their music
   And they sing it all the time 
R:
   
3. Stop your rambling, why don't you stop your gambling
   Well stop your staying out so late at night
   Go home to your wife and family
   Stay there by the fireside bright 
R:

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