Lyrics

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 broke in the Cap'n's trunk T
he 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 mainsail sets
Call for the Captain ashore Let me go home, let me go
home I wanna go home, let me go home Why don't you
let me go home (Hoist up the John B's sail) Hoist up the
John B I feel so broke up I wanna go home Let me 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 mainsail sets Call for the
Captain ashore Let me go home, let me go home
I wanna go home, let me go home Why don't you let me go home
