Goodnight Irene
       D7             G
I'll see you in my dreams

                            D7
Last Saturday night I got married
                         G
Me and my wife settled down
                          C
Now me and my wife have parted
       D7                        G
Gonna take another stroll down town

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

Stop rambling stop gambling
                          G
Stop staying out late at night
                           C
Go home to your wife and family
     D7                   G
And stay by the fireside bright
