I’ll see you in my dreams

Last Saturday night I got married

Me and my wife settled down

Now me and my wife have parted

Gonna take a little stroll downtown

Sometimes I live in the country

Sometimes I live in the town

Sometimes I take a great notion

To jump in the river and drown

Wait your ramblin’ wait your gamblin’

Stop stayin’ out late at night

Stay home with your wife and family

And stay fireside bright
