Jerry Reed - Goodnight, Irene lyrics

rate me

With The Hully Girlies<br />

<br />

Last Saturday night I got married<br />

Me and my wife settled down<br />

But me and my wife have parted<br />

I'm gonna take another stroll downtown<br />

<br />

Irene goodnight (goodnight Irene)<br />

Irene goodnight<br />

Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene<br />

I'll get you in my dream<br />

<br />

Stop your ramblin'<br />

Stop your gamblin'<br />

Stop stayin' out late, late at night<br />

Go home to your wife and your family<br />

Sit down by your fireside so bright<br />

<br />

Irene goodnight (Irene)<br />

Irene goodnight<br />

Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene<br />

I'll get you in my dream<br />

<br />

I love Irene and I swear I do (yes)<br />

Love 'er, love 'er, love 'er, love 'er, love 'er<br />

Love 'er, love 'er, love 'er, love 'er<br />

Still the sea runs dry<br />

And if Irene ever turns her back on me<br />

I'm gonna take morphine and die<br />

<br />

Irene goodnight<br />

Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight<br />

Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight<br />

Irene goodnight<br />

Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene<br />

I'll get you in my dream
