Johnny Cash
"Goodnight, Irene" lyrics

Goodnight, Irene

Last Saturday night I got married
Me and my wife settled down
Now me and my wife are parted
Gonna take another stroll downtown

Irene, 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 fool notion
To jump in the river and drown

Irene, goodnight
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight, Irene
Goodnight, Irene
I'll see you in my dreams

Stop your rambling
Stop your gambling
Stop staying out late at night
Go home to your wife and family
Stay there
By the fireside bright

Irene, goodnight
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight, Irene
Goodnight, Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
