We come on the Sloop John B.
My grandfather and me
Around Nassau town we do roam
Drinking all night
Got into a fight, oh yeah
I feel so brake up
I wanna go home
Hoist up the John B's sails
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the captain ashore
Let me go home
I wanna go home
Why don't you let me go home, yeah!
I feel so brake up
I wanna go home
First mate, he got drunk
Broke up the people's trunk
The constable had to come and take him away
Sheriff John Stone
Why don't you let me go home, yeah!
Well I feel so brake up
I wanna go home
Hoist up the John B's sails
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the captain ashore
Let me go home
I wanna go home
Why don't you let me go home, yeah!
I feel so brake up
I wanna go home
The cook, yeah he caught the fits
And threw away all my grits
And then he came and he ate up all of my corn
Let me go home
Why won't they let me go home, woah yeah!
This is the worst trip since I have been born
Hoist up the John B's sails
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the captain ashore
Let me go home
I wanna go home
Why don't you let me go home, yeah!
I feel so brake up
I wanna go home
Hoist up the John B's sails
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the captain ashore
Let me go home
I wanna go home
Why don't you let me go home, yeah!
I feel so brake up
I wanna go home
I feel so brake up
I wanna go home
