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]
