- Goodnight Irene Lyrics / with translationsLast Saturday night, I got married
Me and my wife settled down
Now me and my wife have parted
I'm going to take another stroll down town
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 promotion
But I'll jump in the river and drown
Irene, goodnight
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight Irene
Goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
Me and my wife settled down
Now me and my wife have parted
I'm going to take another stroll down town
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight, Irene, goodnight
Goodnight Irene
Goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
Sometimes, I live in town
Sometimes, I take a promotion
But I'll jump in the river and drown
Irene, goodnight
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight Irene
Goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
