I Wanna Go Home (The Wreck of the John 'b') |
Sailed on the Sloop John be |
My granddaddy and me |
'Round Nassau town we did roam |
We’d been drinkin' all night |
Well I got into a fight |
Yeah and I feel so broke up |
I want to go home |
Hoist up the John be sail’s |
See how the mainsail sets |
Send for the Captain ashore |
And let me go home |
I want to go home, I want to go home, yeah |
'Cause I feel so broke up, I want to go home |
Yes I do |
(He's so broke up, Lord, I want to go home) |
Well Captain’s a wicked man |
He gets drunk any time he can |
And he don’t give a damn for grandpappy |
No, nor me |
He kicks us around |
And he knocks us about |
Well I feel so broke up, I |
I want to go home |
Well pull up the John be 's sails |
See how the mainsail sets |
Send for the Captain ashore |
And let me go home |
I want to go home |
Well, I want to go home |
'Cause I feel so broke up (he's so broke up) |
I want to go home |
(Yes I do) |
I feel so broke up |
(He so broke up) |
Lord, that I want to go home |
Home |
