Artist/Band: Ry Cooder
Lyrics for Song: Goodnight Irene
Lyrics for Album: Chicken Skin Music [2008]



(Huddie Ledbetter/John Lomax)

(E) - (E7) - (A) - (B7)

(E) I asked your mother for (B7) you

She told me that you was too (E) young

I wish dear (E7) Lord never have (A) seen your face

And I'm (B7) sorry that you ever been (E) born.

(E) Irene good (B7) night, Irene good (E) night

Goodnight I (E7) rene, good (A) night Irene

I'll (B7) get you in my (E) dreams

Sometimes I lives in the country

Sometimes I lives in town

Sometimes I have a great notion

To jump into the river and drown



I loves Irene, God knows I do

Loves her till the sea runs dry

If Irene turns her back on me

I'm gonna take morphine and die

Stop ramblin' and stop gamblin'

Quit staying out late at night

Come home into your wife and your family

Sit down by the fireside bright

Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight

Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene

I'll get you in my dreams
