Tom McRae - From the Lowlands

Sloop John B

We come on the sloop John B
My grandfather and me
Around this old town, we do roam
Drinking all night
Got into a fight
Oh yeah
I feel so broke up
I wanna go home

So hoist up the John B sail
See how the main sail sets
Call for the captain ashore, and let me go home
I wanna go home
Why won't you let me go home?
Oh yeah
I feel so broke up
I wanna go home

The first mate, he got drunk
Broke in the captain's trunk
Constable had to come, and take him away
Sherriff John Stone
Why don't you leave me alone?
Oh yeah
I feel so broke up
I wanna go home

So hoist up the John B sail
See how the main sail sets
Call for the captain ashore, and let me go home
I wanna go home
Why won't you let me go home?
Oh yeah
I feel so broke up
I wanna go home

The poor cook, he caught the fits
Threw away all my grits
And then he took, and he ate up all of my corn
Let me go home
Why won't you let me go home?
Oh yeah
This is the worst trip
I've ever been on

So hoist up the John B sail
See how the main sail sets
Call for the captain ashore, and let me go home
I wanna go home
Why won't you let me go home?
Oh yeah
I feel so broke up
I wanna go home
