Goodnight Irene, goodnight

Goodnight Irene, goodnight

Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene

I'll see you in my dreams



Sometimes I live in the country

Sometimes I live in town 

Sometimes I take a few notions

I want to jump overboard in a river and drown



[chorus]



One night I got married

Now me and my wife settled down 

Now me and my wife are parting

I want to jump overboard in a river and drown



[chorus]
