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
