INDIGO GIRLS - goodnight irene lyrics

rate me

sometimes i live in the country

sometimes i live in the town

sometimes i take a great notion

to jump in the river and drown

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

me and my wife parted

think i'll take another walk downtown

irene goodnight

irene goodnight

goodnight irene

goodnight irene

i'll see you in my dreams

i love irene god knows i do

i'll love her all my life

if irene should ever leave me

i'll take morphine and die

irene goodnight

irene goodnight

goodnight irene

goodnight irene

i'll see you in my dreams

stop your rambling stop your gambling

stop staying out late at night

come home to your wife and family

sit by the fireside bright

irene goodnight

irene goodnight

goodnight irene

goodnight irene

i'll see you in my dreams

goodnight irene

goodnight irene

i'll see you in my dreams
