Sloop John B



come on the sloop john b

grandfather and me

Around Nassau town we did roam

drinkin all night

got into a fight

well i feel so broke up

i wanna go home



first mate he got drunk

broke in the captains bunk

the constable had to come and 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 sails

See how the mainsail sets

call for the captain ashore

and let me go home

let me go home

i wanna go home yea yea

i feel so broke up

i wanna go home



The poor cook he caught the shits

and threw away all my grits

then he took and ate up all o' my corn

let me go home

(oh let me go home)

why won't they let me go home

(hoist up the john b's sails)

this is the worst trip i've ever been on



so hoist of the john b's sails

see how the mainsails sets

call for the captain ashore

and let me go home

let me go home

i really want to go home

i feel so broke up

i wanna go home

i wanna go home

i wanna go home
