Kingston Trio The Sloop John b Lyrics:
Lee Hays/Carl Sandburg

We come on the sloop John B, my grandfather and
me. Around Nassau town we did roam. Drinkin' all
night. Got into a fight. Well, I feel so break up,
I want to go home. (I want to go home. So now,)

Chorus: Hoist up the John B's sails. See how the
main sails set. Call for the captain ashore, let
me go home. (Let me go home.) Let me go home. (I
want to go home.) I want to go home. (Why don't
you let me go home?) Well, I feel so break up, I
want to go home. (I want to go home.)

First mate, he got drunk. Broke up the people's
trunk. Constable had to come and take him away.
Sheriff John Stone (Sheriff John Stone), why don't

you leave me alone? (Why don't you leave me
alone?) Well, I feel so break up, I want to go
home. (I want to go home. So, now)

(Chorus)

Well, the poor cook he caught the fits. Throw away
all of my grits. Then he took and he ate up all of
my corn. Let me go home. (I want to go home.) I
want to go home. (Why don't you let me go home?)
This is the worst trip since I've been born.
(Since I have been born. So, now)

(Chorus)

Hoist up the John B's sails. (John B. sails) See
how the main sails set. (Main sails set.) Call for
the captain ashore, let me go home. (Let me go
home.) Let me go home. (I want to go home.) I want
to go home. (Why don't you let me go home?) Well,
I feel so break up, I want to go home. (I want to
go home.)
