Cisco Houston - Hard Travelin'

The John B. Sails (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
See how the mainsail 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 destroied the people's trunk
The constable had to come and take him away
Sheriff John Stone
please let me alone, yeah yeah
I feel so broke up I wanna go home

So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
Send for the captain ashore
Let me go home, let me go home
I wanna go home,
I feel so break up, I want to 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, I want to go home,
This is the worst trip since I've been born.
So hoist up the John B'ssail
See how the mainsail sets
Send for the captain ashore
Let me go home, I want to go home,
Well I feel so break up, I want to go home.
