SL00P JOHN B

We come out in 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 wanna go home

(refrein)
So hoist up the John B. Sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the captain ashore
Let me go home
Let me go home
I wanna go home
Well, I feel so broke up
I wanna go home

The first mate he got drunk
He broke in the captain's trunk
The constable had to come and take him away
Sheriff Johnstone
Why don 't you leave me alone
Well, l feel so broke up
I wanna go home

(refrein)

The poor cook he got the fits
He 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

(refrein)

Oh Lord, I feel so broke up
I wanna go home
