| 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
|
| And 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
|
| I wanna go home, let me go home
|
| Why don’t you let me go home
|
| (Hoist up the John B’s sail)
|
| Hoist up the John B
|
| I feel so broke up I wanna go home
|
| Let me 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 |
