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 |
| And see how the mainsail sets |
| We gotta see… |
