Last Saturday night I got married,
                      C
Me and my wife settled down.
               C7      F
Now me and my wife are parted;
      G                        C
Gonna take another stroll down-town.

C           G                  C
Irene, good-night. Irene, good-night.

I'll see you in my dreams.

Some-times I live in the country.
                    C
Sometimes I live in town.
            C7          F
Sometimes I take a fool notion
   G                     C
To jumo in the river and drown.

C           G                   C
Irene, good-night. Irene, good-night.

Stop you're ramblin', stop you're gamblin'.

Stop staying out late at night.

Go home to your wife and family.
     G                     C
Stay there by the fireside bright.
