Irish Rovers Goodnight Irene
Irene good night, Irene good night,
Good night Irene, good night 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 we are parted,
I think I'll go out on the town.
Sometimes I live in the country,
Sometimes I live in town,
Sometimes I take a great notion
To jump in the river and drown.
I love Irene, God knows I do,
Love her 'til the seas run dry,
But if Irene should turn me down,
I'd take morphine and die.
Stop rambling, stop your gambling,
Stop staying out late at night,
Go home to your wife and your family,
Stay there by your fireside bright.
