Sloop John B
Sloop John B
Sloop John B
Sloop John B
We come on the sloop John B
Grandfather and me
Around Nassau Town we did roam
Drinking all night
Got into a fight
Well, I feel so broke up, I wanna go home
The first mate, he got drunk
Broke in the captains bunk
The constable had to come and take him away
Sheriff John Stone
Why don't you leave me alone?
Well, I feel so broke up, I wanna go home
So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the captain ashore, let me go home
Let me go home
I wanna go home, yeah yeah
I feel so broke up, I wanna go home
The poor cook, he caught the shits
And threw away all my grits
And then he took and ate up all of my corn
Let me go home (oh, let me go home) (hoist up the John B's sail)
Why don't they let me go home? (hoist up the John B's sail)
(Hoist up the John B's sail)
This is the worst trip I've ever been on
So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the captain ashore, let me go home
Let me go home
I really wanna go home, wow oh
I feel so broke up, I wanna go home (I wanna go home)
I wanna go home (I wanna go home)
I wanna go home
