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 |
| 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 |
