   E                      B7 
 I asked your mother for you
                               E   
 She told me that you was too young
    E              /E/F#/G#    A            
 I wish to the Lord I'd never seen your face
     B7               E    
 or heard your lying tongue
 
 E          B7               E   
 Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
      E        /E/F#/G# A        
 Goodnight Irene, Goodnight Irene

 I'll see you in my dreams

 Sometimes I live in the country
 Sometimes I live in the town
 Sometimes I have 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
 
 Stop ramblin', stop your gamblin'
 stop stayin' out late at night
 Go home to your wife and your family
 sit down by the fireside bright
 
 Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
 Goodnight Irene, Goodnight Irene
 I'll see you in my dreams
 
 I love Irene God knows I do
 love her till the sea run dry
 And if Irene turns her back on me
 I'm gonna take morphine and die
 
 Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
 Goodnight Irene, Goodnight Irene
 I'll see you in my dreams
