Van Morrison - Goodnight Irene lyrics

Last Saturday night I got married

Me and my wife settled down

But me and my wife have parted

I'm gonna take another stroll downtown

Irene goodnight (goodnight Irene)

Irene goodnight

Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene

I'll get you in my dream

Stop your ramblin'

Stop your gamblin'

Stop stayin' out late, late at night

Go home to your wife and your family

Sit down by your fireside so bright

Irene goodnight (Irene)

Irene goodnight

Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene

I'll get you in my dream

I love Irene and I swear I do (yes)

Love 'er, love 'er, love 'er, love 'er, love 'er

Love 'er, love 'er, love 'er, love 'er

Still the sea runs dry

And if Irene ever turns her back on me

I'm gonna take morphine and die

Irene goodnight

Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight

Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight

Irene goodnight

Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene

I'll get you in my dream
