Good-night, Irene, Good-night, Irene,
G7 C
I’ll kiss you in my dreams.
C G7
1. I asked your mother for you,
C
She told me you were too young.
F Dmi
I wish to the Lord I never seen your face,
G7 C
I’m sorry you ever were born.
2. You caused me to weep, you caused me to moan,
You caused me to leave my home.
Last word I ever heard her say:
“I want you to sing me a song.”
3. I love Irene, God knows I do,
I’ll love her till the sea runs dry,
And if Irene should turn me down,
I’ll take morphine and die.
