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 sails, |
|
See how the main sail sets |
|
Call for the Captain ashore and 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, broke in the Cap'n's trunk, |
|
Constable had to come and take him away, |
|
Sheriff Johnstone, hy don't you leave me alone, (yeah yeah) |
|
Well, I feel so broke up, I wanna go home. |
|
So hoist up the John B sails |
|
See how the main sail's set |
|
Call for the Captain ashore and 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) |
|
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 main sail 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? |
