Sloop John B

Old granddaddy and me

Would sail on the Sloop John B

Around Nassau town we did roam

Got into a fight

We were drinkin' all night

Ya, now I feel so brake up

I want to go home

C'mon now we'll run up the John B's sail

We gonna see how the mainsail sets

We gotta send for the Captain ashore

Oh let me go home,

I wanna go home,

yeah, let me go home

Don't ya know I feel so brake up

I just wanna go home

Now the first mate he got drunk

And broke up the people's trunk

The constable had to come and take him away

Ah, Sheriff John Stone

Can't you leave him alone

Oh now I feel so brake up, I just wanna go home

C'mon lets all sing it now

Ya, run up the John B's sail

We gonna see how the mainsail sets

We gotta send for the Captain ashore

Oh let me go home,

I wanna go home,

And let me go home

Ya now, I feel so brake up

I just wanna go home

And then the poor cook he, he took the fits (yeah)

He ate up all my grits

And then the first mate he got drunk

And drank up all of my corn (how he get in here again, I don't know)

Sheriff John Stone

Why don't ya leave him alone

C'mon now, I feel so brake up, I just wanna go home

Run up it up now, yeah...

We'll run up the John B's sail

We gonna see how the mainsail sets

We gotta send for the Captain ashore

Let me go home,

Ah, I wanna go home,

Ya let me go home

Don't ya know, I feel so brake up

I just wanna go home

Run up it up again, yeah...

Ah, run up the John B's sail

[Starts Fading] And see how the mainsail sets

We gotta see...
