Wreck Of The 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 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
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
