<chorus>:
C G G7 C
Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
C C7 F G7 C
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene, I'll see you in my dreams.
C G G7 C
Sometimes I live in the country, sometimes I live in town,
C C7 F G7 C
Sometimes I have a great notion to jump in the river and drown.
<chorus>
C G G7 C
Quit rambling and quit gambling, quit staying out late at night,
C C7 F G7 C
Stay home with your wife and family, sit down by the fireside bright.
<chorus>
C G G7 C
I love Irene, God knows I do, I'll love her 'til the seas run dry.
C C7 F G7 C
And if Irene turns her back on me, I'll take morphine and die.

C G G7 C
You cause me to weep, you cause me to mourn, you cause me to leave my home.
C C7 F G7 C
But the very last words I heard her say was "Please sing me one more song."
