Irene, good night 
Irene, good night 
Good night, Irene 
Good night, Irene 
I'll see you, I'll see you in my dreams. 

Last Saturday night I got lathered 
Me and my wife settled down 
Now me and my wife have parted 
I'm going to take another stroll downtown. 

Irene, good night 
Irene, good night 
Good night, Irene 
I'll see you, I'll see you in my dreams. 

--- Instrumental --- 

Sometimes I live in the country 
Sometimes I live down town 
Sometimes I took a great notion 
I'm going to get me to the river and drown. 

Irene, good night 
Irene, good night 
Good night, Irene 
Good night, Irene 
Gonna see you, gonna see you in my dreams...
