Sailed on the Sloop John B
|
My granddaddy and me
|
'Round Nassau town we did roam
|
We'd been drinkin' all night
|
Well I got into a fight
|
Yeah and I feel so broke up
|
I wanna go home
|
|
Hoist up the John B sail's
|
See how the mainsail sets
|
Send for the Captain ashore
|
And let me go home
|
I wanna go home, I wanna go home, yeah
|
'Cause I feel so broke up, I wanna go home
|
Yes I do
|
(He's so broke up, Lord, I wanna go home)
|
|
Well Captain's a wicked man
|
He gets drunk any time he can
|
And he don't give a damn for grandpappy
|
No, nor me
|
He kicks us around
|
And he knocks us about
|
Well I feel so broke up, I
|
I wanna go home
|
|
Well pull up the John B's sails
|
See how the mainsail sets
|
Send for the Captain ashore
|
And let me go home
|
I wanna go home
|
Well, I wanna go home
|
'Cause I feel so broke up (he's so broke up)
|
I wanna go home
|
(Yes I do)
|
I feel so broke up
|
(He so broke up)
|
Lord, that I wanna go home
|
Home
