Goodnight Irene

Ernest Tubb

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,
Gonna take another stroll downtown.

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

Sometimes I live in the country,
Sometimes I live in the town,
Sometimes I take a full notion,
To jump in the river and drown.

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

Stop rambling, stop your gambling,
Stop staying out late at night,
Go home to your wife and family,
And  stay by your fireside bright.

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