Goodnight Irene
[G]Last saturday night, I got [D]married.
Me and my wife settled [G]down.
Now me and my [G7]wife are [C]parting
Gonna [D]take another boat down[G]town
[G]Irene, good[D]night.
Irene, good[G]night.
Goodnight I[G7]rene, good[C]night Irene.
I'll [D]see you in my [G]dreams.
Sometimes I live in the country,
Sometimes I live in town
Sometimes I take a great notion,
To jump into the river and drown
Irene, goodnight.
Irene, goodnight.
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene.
I'll see you in my dreams.
I love Irene, God knows I do,
I'll love her till the seas run dry
But if Irene should turn me down,
I'd take the morphine and die.
Stop rambling, stop your gambling
Stop staying out late at night,
Go home to your wife and children
Stay there by your fireside bright
Irene, goodnight.
Irene, goodnight.
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene.
I'll see you in my dreams.
