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 wanna go home

So hoist up the John B's sail

See how the main sail 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 Captain'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 main sail sets

Call for the Captain ashore

Let me go home, let me go home

I wanna go home, yeah, yeah

I feel so broke up, I wanna 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 main sail sets

Call for the Captain ashore

Let me go home, let me go home

I wanna to go home, let me go home

I feel so broke up, I wanna go home

Come on the sloop John B

Come on the sloop John B

I just want to go home

This is the worst trip,

This is the worst trip I've been on
