Well I asked your mother for you
And she told me that girl's just too young
I wished dear Lord I'd never seen your face
And I'm sorry you ever been born
Irene, goodnight
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
ย
Well sometimes I live in the country
And sometimes I live in town
Sometimes I have a great notion
To jump in that river and drown
Irene, goodnight
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
ย
I love Irene, God knows I do
I'll love her 'til the sea runs dryBut if Irene turns her back on me
I'm gonna take morphine and I
Stop running and stop gunning
And quit staying out late at night
Go home to your wife and your family
And sit down by the fireside bright
Irene, goodnight
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight, Irene
Goodnight, Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
Goodnight, Irene
Goodnight, Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
