Last Saturday night I got married
And me and my wife we settled down
Now me and my wife we have parted
Gonna take another stroll downtown

Irene goodnight Irene goodnight
Irene goodnight goodnight Irene
I'm gonna see you oh see you in my dreams

[ guitar ]
Well sometimes I live in the country
And sometimes I live in town
And sometimes sometimes I take a little notion
I take a notion I take a stroll downtown

Singing Irene goodnight Irene
