Sloop John B
We come on the sloop John BMy grandfather and meAround Nassau town we did roamDrinking all nightGot into a fightWell I feel so broke upI wanna go home
So hoist up the John B's sailSee how the main sail setsCall for the Captain ashoreLet me go home, let me go homeI wanna go home, yeah yeahWell I feel so broke upI wanna go home
The First Mate he got drunkAnd broke in the Captain's trunkThe constable had to come and take him awaySheriff John StoneWhy don't you leave me alone? Yeah, yeahWell I feel so broke up, I wanna go home
So hoist up the John B's sailSee how the main sail setsCall for the Captain ashoreLet me go home, let me go homeI wanna go home, let me go homeWhy don't you let me go homeHoist up the John B's sailHoist up the John BI feel so broke up I wanna go homeLet me go home
