Song lyrics to Goodnight, Ladies

[“Goodnight, Ladies” is a folk song attributed to Edwin Pearce Christy, originally intended to be sung during a minstrel show. Drawing from an 1847 song by Christy entitled “Farewell, Ladies”, the song as known today was first published on May 16, 1867.]

Goodnight ladies
Goodnight ladies
Goodnight ladies
We’re going to leave us now
Merrily we roll along, roll along, roll along
Merrily we roll along, over the deep blue sea

Farewell ladies
Farewell ladies
Farewell ladies
We’re going to leave us now
Merrily we roll along, roll along, roll along
Merrily we roll along, over the deep blue sea

Sweet dreams ladies
Sweet dreams ladies
Sweet dreams ladies
We’re going to leave us now
Merrily we roll along, roll along, roll along
Merrily we roll along, over the deep blue sea
