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, yeah yeah |
| 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 |
| I want to go home |
| Why don’t they let me go home, yeah yeah |
| Oh I feel so broke up I want to go home |
| First mate he got drunk |
| Broke into the Cap’n’s trunk |
| The constable had to come and take him away |
| Sheriff John Stone |
| Why don’t they leave me alone, yeah yeah |
| Oh 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 want to go home (let me go home) |
| Why don’t they let me go home (hoist up the John B’s sail) |
| Yeah, I feel so broke up I want to go home |
| The poor cook he caught the fits |
| Threw away all my grits |
| Then he took and he ate up all of my corn |
| Sheriff John Stone |
| Why don’t they let me alone, yeah yeah |
| This is the worst trip I’ve ever been on |
| So hoist up the John B’s sail (so hoist up the John B’s sail) |
| See how the mainsail sets (see how the mainsail sets) |
| Call for the Captain ashore |
| Let me go home (let me go home) |
| I want to go home (let me go home) |
| Why don’t they let me go home (hoist up the John B’s sail) |
| Well I feel so broke up I want to go home |
| So hoist up the John B’s sail (hoist up the John B’s sail) |
| I said see how the mainsail sets (see how the mainsail sets) |
| Call for the Captain ashore |
| Let me go home (let me go home) |
| I want to go home (let me go home) |
| Why don’t they let me go home (hoist up the John B’s sail) |
| This is the worst trip I’ve ever been on |
