I'll B7get you in my dEreams.
EI asked your mother fB7or you

Sometimes I live in Etown.
Sometimes I hE7ave a great notAion
To jump inB7to the river and dErown.
EStop ramblin'and stop gamB7blin'
Quit staying out late at nEight
Go home to your E7wife and your famiAly
Stay doB7wn by the fireside brEight
EI loves Irene, God kB7nows I do
Love her till the sea runs Edry
If Irene tE7urns her back Aon me
I'm goB7nna take morphine anEd die
