Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
When I asked your mother for you
She told me you were too young
Now I wish I had never even seen your face
Or heard your lying tongue

So Saturday night I got married
Me and my wife settled down
Now me and my wife are parted
I'm gonna take another stroll downtown

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

Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in town
Sometimes I have a great notion
To jump into the river and drown

Oh, stop your carousin', stop you gamblin'
Stayin out late at night
Go home to your wife and family
Sit down by the fireside, bright

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

Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams...
When I asked your mother for you   She told me you were too young   Now I wish I had never even seen your face   Or heard your lying tongue      So Saturday night I got married   Me and my wife settled down   Now me and my wife are parted   I'm gonna take another stroll downtown       Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight   Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene   I'll see you in my dream       Sometimes I live in the country   Sometimes I live in town   Sometimes I have a great notion   To jump into the river and drown      Oh, stop your carousin', stop you gamblin'   Stayin out late at night   Go home to your wife and family   Sit down by the fireside, bright      Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight   Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene   I'll see you in my dream       Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene   I'll see you in my dreams...
