Sloop John B Sloop John B Sloop John B Sloop John B Come on the sloop john b Grandfather and me Around Nassau town we did roam Drinkin all night Got into a fight Well i feel so broke up I wanna go home First mate he got drunk Broke in the captains bunk The constable had to come and take him away Sheriff John Stone Why don't you leave me alone Well i feel so broke up I wanna go home So hoist up the John B's sails See how the mainsail sets Call for the captain ashore And let me go home Let me go home I wanna go home yea yea I feel so broke up I wanna go home The poor cook he caught the shits And threw away all my grits Then he took and ate up all o' my corn Let me go home (oh let me go home) Why won't they let me go home (hoist up the john b's sails) This is the worst trip i've ever been on So hoist of the john b's sails See how the mainsails sets Call for the captain ashore And let me go home Let me go home I really want to go home I feel so broke up I wanna go home I wanna go home I wanna go home
