GOODNIGHT IRENE
Ledbetter & Lomax

C F G G7
CHORUS:
Irene, Goodnight
Irene, Goodnight
Goodnight Irene, 
Goodnight Irene, 
I'll see you in my dreams.

Last Saturday night I got married
Me and my wife settled down
Me and my wife have parted
Gonna take another stroll down town.

CHORUS:

Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in town
Sometimes I take a fool notion
To jump in the river and drown.

CHORUS:

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 morphine and die

CHORUS:
 
Stop ramblin', stop gamblin'
Stop stayin' out late at night
Go home to your wife and family
And stay by the fireside bright.

CHORUS:
