[Verse 1]
Last Saturday night, I got married
Me and my wife settled down
Now me and my wife are parted
Gonna take another stroll downtown

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

[Verse 2]
Stop rambling, stop your gambling
Stop staying out late at night
Come home to your wife and your family
And sit by the fire so bright

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
I love Irene, God knows I do
Love her 'til the rivers run dry
If Irene should ever turn her back on me
Gonna take morphine and die

[Chorus][x3]
