[00:07.36] We come on the sloop John B
[00:10.94] My grandfather and me
[00:15.20] 'Round Nassau town we did roam
[00:21.73] Drinking all night
[00:25.18] Got into a fight
[00:29.50] Well I feel so brake up
[00:31.89] I want to go home
[00:36.79] So hoist up the John B's sail
[00:40.73] See how the mainsail sets
[00:44.81] Send for the Captain ashore
[00:47.71] Let me go home let me go home
[00:54.09]
[00:55.54] Let me go home
[00:59.84] Well I feel so brake up
[01:02.40] I wanna go home
[01:07.61] Well the first mate he got drunk
[01:10.31] And broke in the people's trunk
[01:14.13] The constable had to come and take him away
[01:21.30] Sheriff John Stone
[01:24.64] Won't you leave me alone
[01:29.42] Well this thing I work with
[01:32.18] So I wanna go home
[01:36.69] So hoist up the John B's sail
[01:40.63] See how the mainsail sets
[01:43.77]
[01:44.89] Send for the Captain ashore
[01:47.16] Let me go home let me go home
[01:54.78] Let me go home
[01:59.28] Well I feel so brake up
[02:02.10] I wanna go home
[02:04.66] --- Instrumental ---
[02:07.22] Well the poor cook he caught the fits
[02:10.24] And threw away all my grits
[02:14.26] Then he took and he ate up all of my corn
[02:21.72] Where is John Stone
[02:22.72]
[02:23.91] Why don't you leave me alone
[02:29.17] Well I feel so brake up
[02:31.86] Since I've been born
[02:36.10] So hoist up the John B's sail
[02:40.16] See how the mainsail sets
[02:43.99] Send for the Captain ashore
[02:47.12] Let me go home let me go home
[02:54.23] Let me go home
[02:58.54] This thing I work with
[03:01.17] Since I've been born
[03:06.57]
[03:10.16] Well I wanna go home
[03:21.86] Let me go home
[03:25.51] Let me go home
[03:28.47] I feel so brake up
[03:31.29] I wanna go home
