Last night as I lay down A-sleeping Last night as I lay across my bed Last night I had myself a nightmare, I had a dream, I had a dream, That little Irene walks in!
Goodnight, Irene! Goodnight, goodnight, Irene! Goodnight, Irene, goodnight! Goodnight, Irene, goodnight! I wonna get you, gonna get you Into my dreams...
Last Saturday night We got married. Last Saturday night We sure got down.
Last Saturday night We went to sail on the river Where we swamped our little boat And we almost drowned.
Goodnight, Irene! Goodnight, goodnight, Irene! Goodnight, Irene, goodnight! Goodnight, Irene, goodnight! I wonna get you, gonna get you Into my dreams...
Sometimes I live in the country Sometimes I live right here in town But when I'm loving my little love Irene, Oh let me tell you right now, I don't want nobody else around!
Goodnight, Irene! Goodnight, goodnight, Irene! Goodnight, Irene, goodnight! Goodnight, Irene, goodnight! I wonna get you, gonna get you Into my dreams...
