We came on the sloop "John B"
|
My grandfather and me
|
'Round Nassau town we did roam
|
Stayed awake all night
|
We got into a fight
|
Well, I feel so broke up
|
I want to go home
|
|
Hoist up the "John B" sail
|
See how the mains'l's sets
|
Tell the captain ashore
|
I wanna go home
|
Well, I wanna go home
|
I wanna go home
|
Lord, I feel so broke up
|
I just wanna go home
|
|
Well, the first mate he got drunk
|
And he broke into somebody's trunk
|
And the Sheriff had to come and take him away
|
Sheriff John Slone
|
Please let me alone
|
Well, I fell so broken up
|
I just wanna go home
|
|
Hoist up the "John B" sail
|
See how the mains'l's sets
|
Tell the captain ashore
|
I wanna go home
|
Lord, I wanna go home
|
I just wanna go home
|
Well, I feel so broken up
|
I just wanna go home
|
|
Hoist up the "John B" sail
|
See how the mains'l's sets
|
Tell the captain ashore
|
I wanna go home
|
Well, I wanna go home
|
I wanna go home
|
Lord, I feel so broken up
|
I just wanna go home
|
Well, I feel so broken up
|
I wanna go home
