Goodnight Irene
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Irene, goodnight, Irene. 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 are parting
I want to jump overboard in a river and drown
Sometimes I live in the country
and sometimes I live in the town
then again sometimes I take a few notions
I want to jump overboard in a river and drown
