Sloop John B

We sailed on the sloop John B

My grandfather and me

Around Nassau town we did roam

We were drinking all night

Got into a fight

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

Well I feel so broke up

I wanna go home

The first mate he got drunk

And broke in the captain's trunk

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

Well I feel so broke up

I wanna go home

The poor cook he caught the fits

He threw away all my grits

Then he took and he ate up

All of my corn

Let me go home

Why don't you let me go home

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 wanna go home

Well I feel so broke up

I wanna go home
