I Wanna Go Home (The Wreck Of The ‘John B’ Sails) (Aka Sloop 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 |
