ERIC CLAPTON - Goodnight Irene lyrics

rate me

That Saturday night I got married

Me and my wife settled down

Now me and my wife are partied

And we'll take another stroll downtown

Chorus:

Irene, goodnight!

Irene, goodnight!

Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene

I'll see you in my dream!

Stop rambling, stop the gambling

Stop stay late in night!

Stay home with your wife and family

And sit by the fireside of right!

Chorus:

Irene, goodnight!

Irene, goodnight!

Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene

I'll see you in my dream!

I love Irene, God know I do

Love her till the rivers run dry!

If Irene should ever run back on me

I will take morphine and die!

Chorus: (x2)

Irene, goodnight!

Irene, goodnight!

Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene

I'll see you in my dreams!
