Goodnight Irene (Original Session Tape) Songtext
von Johnny Cash

Last Saturday night I got married
Me and my wife settled down
Now, me and my wife are parted
Gonna take another stroll downtown

Irene, goodnight
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight, Irene,goodnight, Irene
I′ll see you in my dreams

Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in town
Sometimes I take a full notion
To jump in the river and drown


Irene, goodnight
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight, Irene,goodnight, Irene
I'll see you in my dreams

Stop you ramblin′
Stop your gamblin'
Stop stayin' out late at night
Go home to your wife and family
Stay there by the fireside, bright

Irene, goodnight
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight, Irene,goodnight, Irene
I′ll see you in my dreams
