I asked your mother for you
She told me that you was too young
I wished to the Lord I'd never seen your face
See what you done done

Irene goodnight
Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll get you in my dream

Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in the town
Sometimes I have a great notion
To jump in the river and drown

Irene goodnight
Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irenе
I'll get you in my dream

I love Irеne, God knows I do
I love her till the seas run dry
If Irene turns her back on me
Gonna take morphine and die

Stop ramblin', stop your gamblin'
Stop stayin' out late at night
Go home to your wife and family
Sit down by the fireside bright
