Saturday night we 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 Irene you were in my dreams Sometimes I live in the country bay Sometimes I live in town Sometimes I take a great notion To jump in the river and drown Refrão Stop rambling, stop your gambling Stop stayin' out at night Go home to your wife and family Stay there to your fireside bright
