Ry Cooder - Goodnight Irene lyrics

Your rating:

(Huddie Ledbetter/John Lomax) 

(E) - (E7) - (A) - (B7) 



(E) I asked your mother for (B7) you 

She told me that you was too (E) young 

I wish dear (E7) Lord never have (A) seen your face 

And I'm (B7) sorry that you ever been (E) born. 



(E) Irene good (B7) night, Irene good (E) night 

Goodnight I (E7) rene, good (A) night Irene 

I'll (B7) get you in my (E) dreams 



Sometimes I lives in the country 

Sometimes I lives in town 

Sometimes I have a great notion 

To jump into the river and drown 



I loves Irene, God knows I do 

Loves her till the sea runs dry 

If Irene turns her back on me 

I'm gonna take morphine and die 



Stop ramblin' and stop gamblin' 

Quit staying out late at night 

Come home into your wife and your family 

Sit down by the fireside bright 



Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight 

Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene 

I'll get you in my dreams
