(Huddie Ledbetter wrote this song) Sometimes I live in the country Sometimes I live in town Sometimes I have a great notion To jump into the river and drown Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene I'll see you in my dreams Last Saturday night I got married Me and my wife settled down Now me and my wife are parted I'm gonna take another stroll downtown, yeah Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene I'll see you in my dreams Stop your ramblin', stop your gamblin' Stop stayin' out late at night Go home to your wife and family Stay down by your fireside bright Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight (it's nice to hear ya) Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene I'll see you in my dreams (Do the one more once) Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene I'll see you in my dreams. Goodnight Irene (Yeah, goodnight Charlie Chaplin College) Oh, you know I'll see you in my dreams, in my dreams. (Thank you people.)
