Wreck Of The Sloop John B |
| We come on the sloop John B My grandfather and me Around Nassau town we did roam |
| Drinking all night |
| Got into a fight |
| Well I feel so broke up, I want to 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, yeah yeah |
| Well I feel so broke up — I wanna go home |
| The first mate he got drunk |
| Broke in the Cap’n’s trunk |
| The constable had to come and take him away |
| Sheriff John Stone |
| Why don’t you leave me alone? |
| yeah yeah |
| 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 |
| (a capella) |
| I wanna go home, let me go home |
| (Why don’t you let me go) |
| Hoist up the John B’s sail (Hoist up the John B) |
| I feel so broke up I wanna go home. |
| The poor cook he caught the fits |
| And threw away all my grits |
| And then he took and he ate up all of my corn |
| Let me go home |
| Why don’t they 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 — let me go home |
| Why don’t you let me go home? |
| (fade out) |
