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 going to take another stroll downtown.

Sometimes I live in the country, sometimes I live in the town,

Sometimes I have a great notion, to jump into the river and drown.
