Goodnight Irene
Leadbelly
CHORUS
[A] Irene, Good-[E] night
Irene, Good-[A] night
Goodnight Irene,
Good-[D] night Irene,
I'll [E] see you in my [A] dreams.
[A] Last Saturday night I got [E] married
Me and my wife settled [A] down
Me and my wife have [D] parted
Gonna [E] take another stroll down [A] town.
REPEAT 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.
REPEAT 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.
REPEAT CHORUS
