                          G7
Last Saturday night I got married
                       C
Me and my wife settled down
                          F       Dm
Now me and my wife, we're parted
          G7                      C
I'm gonna take another stroll downtown

[Chorus]
          G7
Irene goodnight
          C
Irene goodnight
           C7        F      Dm
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
     G7            C
I'll see you in my dreams

[Verse]
                             G7
Some folks, they live in the country
                             C
Some folks, they live in the town
                        F       Dm
Sometimes I get a great notion
   G7                      C
To jump into the river and drown

[Chorus]
          G7
Irene goodnight
          C
Irene goodnight
           C7        F      Dm
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
     G7            C
I'll see you in my dreams

[Verse]
                              G7
Stop your ramblin', stop your gamblin'
                         C
Stop staying out late at night
                         F       Dm
Go home to your wife and family
     G7                 C
Stay in by the fireside light

[Chorus]
          G7
Irene goodnight
          C
Irene goodnight
           C7        F      Dm
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
     G7            C
I'll see you in my dreams

[Verse]
         G7
Irene, I love you so
                                C
I'll love you till the seas run dry
                       F     Dm
And if ever you should leave me
     G7                C
I'll take morphine and die

[Chorus]
              G7
Oh, Irene goodnight
          C
Irene goodnight
           C7        F      Dm
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
     G7            C
I'll see you in my dreams

Oh, Irene goodnight

Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
N.C.
I'll see you in my dreams
