Goodnight, Irene |
Last 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 |
Sometimes I live in the country, |
Sometimes I live in town |
Sometimes I take a great notion, |
To jump into the river and drown |
I love Irene, God knows I do, |
I’ll love her till the seas run dry |
But if Irene should turn me down, |
I’d take the morphine and die |
Stop rambling, stop your gambling, |
Stop staying out late at night |
Go home to your wife and your family, |
Stay there by your fireside bright. |
