Van Morrison – Goodnight Irene lyrics
Last saturday night I got married
Me and my wife settled down
But me and my wife have parted
Im gonna take another stroll downtown

Irene goodnight (goodnight irene)
Irene goodnight
Goodnight irene, goodnight irene
Ill 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
Ill 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
Im gonna take morphine and die

Irene goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Irene goodnight
Goodnight irene, goodnight irene
Ill get you in my dream
