G5                         D5 
Last Saturday night, I got married 
D5                       G5 
Me and my wife settled down 
G5            G5           C5 
Now me and my wife are parted 
         D5                        G5 
I'm gonna take another stroll downtown 

Chorus: 
G5         D5        D5       G5 
Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight, 
G5           G5      C5 
Goodnight Irene, Goodnight Irene, 
D5                     G5 
I'll see you in my dreams 


Stop rambling, stop your gambling, 
Stop staying out late at night 
Go home to your wife and family 
Stay there by your fireside bright 

(Chorus) 

I love Irene God, I swear I do 
Love her till the seas run dry 
And if Irene turns her back on me, 
I'll take morphine and die 

(Chorus)
