Wreck Of The "John B" (Live At Carnegie Hall, 1955)

We come on the sloop John B

My grandfather and me

Round Nassau town we did roam

Drinkin' all night we got into a fight

I feel so break up, I want to go home

So hoist up the John B's sails

See how the mainsail's set

Send for the captain ashore, let me go home

Let me go home (Let me go home)

Let me go home (Let me go home)

I feel so break up, I want to go home

The first mate he got drunk

Broke up the people's trunk

Constable had to come and take him away

Sheriff Johnstone, please let me alone

I feel so break up, I want to go home

So hoist up the John B's sails

See how the mainsail's set

Send for the captain ashore, let me go home

Let me go home (Let me go home)

Let me go home (Let me go home)

I feel so break up, I want to go home

Let me go home (Let me go home)

Let me go home (Let me go home)

I feel so break up, I want to go home
