(The Wreck of The) '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) |
