Irene Goodnight ~ TraditionalLast (G) Saturday night I got (D)maried.Me and my bride settled (G) down.Now me and my bride have [C] parted.Gonna (D) take a stroll down (G) town,CHORUS(G) Irene good (D) night. Irene good (G) night.Good night, Irene. Good[C] night, Irene.I'll (D) see you in my (G) dreams.Sometimes I live in the country.Sometime I live in town.Sometimes I take a great notion.To jump in the river and drown.Stop rambling, stop your gambling.Stop staying out late at night.Go home to your wife and family.And stay by the fire side bright.–Some versions begin with the chorus.Some repeat the chorus twice after thelast verse.

Thanks, guys! I don't have the mando in my man cave right now. It seems to have walked up to the living room and I can hear Linda playing Down To The River To Pray.

Good job Unc! The mando sounds great in your hands. I think it will have plenty of volume in an acoustic jam.

Very nice rendention of Irene, I've only heard Eric Claptons version. The mandolin sound smooth and resonates a rich tone.
