text: Chorus:
  Irene, goodnight
  Irene, goodnight
  Goodnight irene, goodnight irene
  Ill see you in my dreams
  Well last saturday night I got married
  Me and my wife settled down
  Well now me and my wife are parted
  Im gonna take another stroll downtown
  Some folks they like their sugar
  Some folks they like their wine
  Some folks love their music
  And they sing it all the time
  Stop your rambling, why dont you stop your gambling
  Well stop your staying out so late at night
  Go home to your wife and family
  Stay there by the fireside bright
  Goodnight irene, goodnight irene
  Ill see you in my dreams
