Goodnight Irene

Huggy Ledbetter

3:4 Key:G

Chorus
[G]Irene good [D7]night
Irene good [G]night
Good night Irene Good [C]night Irene
I'll [D7]see you in my [G]dreams

[G]Last Saturday night I got [D7]married
Me and my wife settled [G]down
Now me and my wife have [C]parted
I'm gonna [D7]take a little stroll down[G]town
Chorus

[G]Sometimes I live in the [D7]country
Sometimes I live in [G]town
Sometimes I take a great [C]notion
To [D7]jump in the river and [G]drown
Chorus

[G]I loves Irene, God [D7]knows I do
Love her till the sea runs [G]dry
If Irene turns her [C]back on me
I’m gonna [D7]take morphine and [G]die
Chorus

[G]Quit your rambling quit your [D7]gambling
Stop staying out late at [G]night
Stay home with your wife and [C]family
And [D7]stay by the fireside of [G]right
Chorus twice
