Song language: English
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. |
