Goodnight Irene

Leadbelly

in D

DLast Saturday night I got A7married.
Me and my wife settled Ddown.
Now me and my wife have Gparted,
I'm Dgonna take a little Astroll down-Dtown.

DIrene, A7Goodnight,
Irene, GoodDnight,
Goodnight, Irene, GoodGnight, Irene,
I'll Dget you Ain my Ddreams.

DAsked your mother for A7you.
She told me that you was too Dyoung.
I wish, dear Lord, that I'd never Gseen your face.
I'm Dsorry you Aever was Dborn.

DIrene, A7Goodnight,
Irene, GoodDnight,
Goodnight, Irene, GoodGnight, Irene,
I'll Dget you Ain my Ddreams.

DSometimes I live in the A7country,
Sometimes I live in Dtown.
Sometimes I haves a great Gnotion,
To jump Dinto the Ariver and Ddrown.

CHORUS

DStop ramblin' and stop A7gamblin',
Quit staying out late at Dnight.
Go home to your wife and your Gfamily,
Stay Ddown by the Afireside Dbright.

CHORUS

DI loves Irene, God A7knows I do,
Love her till the sea runs Ddry.
If Irene turns her Gback on me,
I'm gonna Dtake Amorphine and Ddie.
