Goodnight Irene Songtext
von Bobby Bare

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 big notion
To jump in the old river and drown

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

I love Irene, God knows I do
Love her ′til the sea runs dry
And if Irene turns her back on me
I'll lay right down and I'll die

And say, 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 just partners
As I′m taking a stroll 'round town

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

Hey rambler, stop your ramblin'
Stop staying out late at night
Go on home to your wife and your family
Stay there by the fireside bright

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

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