Sloop John B |
| We come on the sloop John B, my grandfather and me |
| Around Nassau town we did roam drinkin' all night |
| Got into a fight, well, I feel so break up |
| I want to go home |
| (I want to go home, so now) |
| Hoist up the John B’s sails |
| See how the main sails set |
| Call for the captain ashore |
| Let me go home |
| (Let me go home) |
| Let me go home |
| (I want to go home) |
| I want to go home |
| (Why don’t you let me go home?) |
| Well, I feel so break up |
| I want to go home |
| (I want to go home) |
| First mate, he got drunk |
| Broke up the people’s trunk |
| Constable had to come and take him away |
| Sheriff John Stone |
| (Sheriff John Stone) |
| Why don’t you leave me alone? |
| (Why don’t you leave me alone?) |
| Well, I feel so break up |
| I want to go home |
| (I want to go home, so, now) |
| Well, the poor cook he caught the fits |
| Throw away all of my grits. |
| Then he took and he ate up all of my corn |
| Let me go home |
| (I want to go home) |
| I want to go home |
| (Why don’t you let me go home?) |
| This is the worst trip since I’ve been born |
| (Since I have been born, so, now) |
| Hoist up the John B’s sails |
| (John B. sails) |
| See how the main sails set |
| (Main sails set) |
| Call for the captain ashore |
| Let me go home |
| (Let me go home) |
| Let me go home |
| (I want to go home) |
| I want to go home |
| (Why don’t you let me go home?) |
| Well, I feel so break up |
| I want to go home |
| (I want to go home) |
