JIM REEVES
"Goodnight Irene"
(Lead Belly / John A. Lomax)

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
Now me and my wife have parted
So I'll take another stroll downtown.

Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, Goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams.

Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in 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...
