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 Cap'n'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,

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
