We come on the sloop John B
|
Grandfather and me
|
Around Nassau Town we did roam
|
Drinking all night
|
Got into a fight
|
Well I feel so broke up, I wanna go home
|
|
The 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 sail
|
See how the mainsail sets
|
Call for the captain ashore
|
Let me go home, let me go home
|
I wanna go home
|
I feel so broke up, I wanna go home
|
|
The poor cook he caught the shits
|
And threw away all my grits
|
And then he took and 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
|
