Goodnight Irene Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Foxes sleep in the forest
Lions sleep in their dens
Goats sleep on the mountainside
And piggies sleep in pens
[Chorus]
Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
[Verse 2]
Whales sleep in the ocean
Zebras sleep on land
Hippos sleep by the riverside
And camels sleep on sand
[Chorus]
Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
[Verse 3]
Coyotes sleep in the canyon
A birdie sleeps in a tree
And when it's time for me to rest
My bed's just the place for somebody
Foxes sleep in the forest
Lions sleep in their dens
Goats sleep on the mountainside
And piggies sleep in pens
[Chorus]
Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
[Verse 2]
Whales sleep in the ocean
Zebras sleep on land
Hippos sleep by the riverside
And camels sleep on sand
[Chorus]
Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
[Verse 3]
Coyotes sleep in the canyon
A birdie sleeps in a tree
And when it's time for me to rest
My bed's just the place for somebody
[Chorus]
Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
