0:16When I asked your mother for you
0:21She told me you were too young
0:25Now I wish I had never even seen your face
0:29Or heard your lying tongue
0:33So Saturday night I got married
0:38Me and my wife settled down
0:42Now me and my wife are parted
0:46I'm gonna take another stroll downtown
0:51Irene goodnight Irene goodnight
0:59Goodnight Irene goodnight Irene
1:04I'll see you in my dream
1:17Sometimes I live in the country
1:21Sometimes I live in town
1:25Sometimes I have a great notion
1:29To jump into the river and drown
1:33Oh stop your carousin' stop you gamblin'
1:38Stayin out late at night
1:43Go home to your wife and family
1:47Sit down by the fireside bright
1:52Irene goodnight Irene goodnight
2:00Goodnight Irene goodnight Irene
2:04I'll see you in my dream
2:08Goodnight Irene goodnight Irene
2:13I'll see you in my dreams
When I asked your mother for you She told me you were too young Now I wish I had never even seen your face Or heard your lying tongue So Saturday night I got married Me and my wife settled down Now me and my wife are parted I'm gonna take another stroll downtown Irene goodnight Irene goodnight Goodnight Irene goodnight Irene I'll see you in my dream Sometimes I live in the country Sometimes I live in town Sometimes I have a great notion To jump into the river and drown Oh stop your carousin' stop you gamblin' Stayin out late at night Go home to your wife and family Sit down by the fireside bright Irene goodnight Irene goodnight Goodnight Irene goodnight Irene I'll see you in my dream Goodnight Irene goodnight Irene I'll see you in my dreams
