Ik ken een liedje en dat gaat zo
Last Saturday night
I got married me and my wife settled down
but me and my wife got parted
I’m gonna take another stroll down town
Irene Goodnight, Irene Goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I get you in my dreams
Stop your rambling
stop your gambling
stop staying out late late at night
go home to your wife and your family
sit down by your fireside so bright
Irene Goodnight, Irene Goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I get you in my dreams
I love Irene and I swear I do
Love her love her love her love her
Till the sea runs dry
And if Irene ever turn her back on me
I’m gonna take morphine and die
Irene Goodnight, Irene Goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I get you in my dreams
