Intro

E

 I Easked your mother for yB7ou

 She told me that you was too yEoung

 I wEish to the Lord EI'F♯d nG♯ever sAeen your face

 or hB7eard your lying tEongue

EIrene goodnB7ight, Irene goodnEight

 GoodnEight IreneE, F♯GooG♯dniAght Irene

 I'll sB7ee you in my drEeams

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
