[Verse 1]
I [G]asked your mother for [D]you

I wish dear Lord
that I'd never [C]seen your face
I'm [D]sorry you ever were [G]born

[Chorus 1]
[G]Irene good [D]night
Irene good [G]night
Good night Irene, good [C]night Irene
I [D]guess you're in my [G]dreams

[Verse 2]
Some[G]times I live in the coun[D]try
Sometimes I live in [G]town
Sometimes I haves a great [C]notion
Jumping [D]in, into the river and [G]drown

[Chorus 2]
[G]Irene good [D]night
Irene good [G]night
Good night Irene, good [C]night Irene
I [D]guess you're in my [G]dreams

[Verse 3]
Stop rambl[G]in' and stop gambl[D]in'
Quit staying out late at [G]night
Go home to your wife and your [C]family
Stay [D]there by the fireside [G]bright

[Chorus 3]
[G]Irene good [D]night
Irene good [G]night
Good night Irene, good [C]night Irene
I [D]guess you're in my [G]dreams

[Verse 4]
I [G]love Irene, God [D]knows I do
I love her 'til the sea runs [G]dry
If Irene turns her [C]back on me
I'm gonna [D]take morphine and [G]die
