Sloop John B, Sloop John B, Sloop John B, Sloop John B

We come on the sloop John
My grandfather and me
Around Nassau town we do roam
Drinking all night
Got into a fight
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,
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, yeah yeah
I feel so broke up I wanna 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 (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, yeah yeah
I feel so broke up I wanna go home (I wanna go home)
I wanna go home (I wanna go home)
I wanna go home
