   good night Irene good night Irene I'll see you in my dream.

  G                     D7
I asked your mother for you
                        G
she told me you was too young
                           C         Ami
I wished to God I'd never seen your face
     D7                 G
I'm sorry you ever was born.

R: Irene good night ...

Stop your rambling stop your gambling
stop staying up late at night
go home to your wife and family
there by your fireside right.

R: Irene good night ...

You caused me to weep you caused me to mourn
you caused me to leave my home
but the very last words I heard her say
was: please sing me one more song.

R: Irene good night ...
