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 sail

See how the mainsail sets

Call for the captain ashore

Let me go home, 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 leave me alone, 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, 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

So hoist up the John B's sails

See how the mainsail sets

Call for the captain ashore

Let me go home, 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

So hoist up the John B's sails

See how the mainsail sets

Call for the captain ashore

Let me go home, 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
