Sloop John B

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 captain's trunk
 The 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
 Well, 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?
