Wreck Of The Sloop John B

Lyrics

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 (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
 I wanna go home, I wanna go home
 Well I feel so broke up, I wanna go home
 The first mate he got drunk (Drunk!)
 And broke in the Captain's trunk (Trunk!)
 The constable came and tried to take him away
 Sheriff John Stone
 Why don't you leave me alone
 Well I feel so broke up, I wanna go home
 So hoist up the John B's sail (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
 I wanna go home
 Hoist up the John B's sail (Let me go home)
 Why don't they let me go home
 See how the mainsail sets (I wanna go home)
 Well I feel so broke up, I wanna go home
 
 ♪
 The poor cook he caught the fits
 And threw away all my grits
 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 (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
 I wanna go home
 Why don't they let me go home
 Well I feel so broke up, I wanna go home
