Goodnight irene

E                       B7
I asked your mother for you
                              E
she told me that you was too young
            E7         A
I wish dear lord never seen your face
        B7                       E
and I'm sorry that you ever been born

E         B7               E
Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
           E7        A
goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
 B7                E
I'll get you in my dreams


sometimes I live in the country
sometimes I live in town
sometimes I have a great notion
to jump into the river and drown

I love Irene, God knows I do
love her till the sea runs dry
if Irene turns her back on me
I'm gonna take morphine and die

stop rambling and stop gambling
quit staying out late at night
come home into your wife and family
sit down by the fireside bright

Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll get you in my dreams
