( Standard Tuning, Leadbelly's Goodnight Irene )
--------------------------------------------------

(chorus)
A Irene, Good- E night
Irene,  Good- E night
Goodnight Irene, 
Good- D night Irene, 
I'll E see you in my A dreams.
A Last Saturday night I got B married
Me and my wife settled A down
Me and my wife have D parted
Gonna E take another stroll down A town.

(chorus)

Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in town
Sometimes I take a fool notion
To jump in the river and drown.

(chorus)

A Stop ramblin', stop E gamblin'
Stop stayin' out late at A night
Go home to your wife and D family
And E stay by the fireside A bright.
