Last Saturday night I got married
Last Saturday night I got wed
Now me and my true love are parted
Well, put a slug throgh my head
Irene, goodnight
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
Now some people like to go
Some people like to go
Now me I just truly love to do this once
And that is once
Irene, goodnight
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
Irene, goodnight
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
