B F# Last Saturday night I got married, B Me and my wife settled down. B7 E Now me and my wife are parted; F# B Gonna take another stroll down-town. Chorus: B F# B Irene, good-night. Irene, good-night. B7 E Goodnight. Irene. Good-night, Irene. F# B I'll see you in my dreams. Some-times I live in the country. Sometimes I live in town. Sometimes I take a fool notion To jumo in the river and drown. Chorus Stop you're ramblin', stop you're gamblin'. Stop staying out late at night. Go home to your wife and family. Stay there by the fireside bright.
