We come on to sloop "John B."
1) We come on to sloop "John B.",
my grandfather and me
around Nassau town
we did roam:
drinking all night,
get into a fight
oh yeah, yeah.
Well I feel so broke-up,
I wanna go home.
Refr.: 1.-3.
So hoist up the "John B." sail,
see how the main sail sets,
send for the captain ashore,
|: let me go home. :|
I wanna go home,
oh yeah, yeah.
Well I feel so broke-up,
I wanna go home.
2) The first mate, oh, he got drunk
and broke in the Captain's trunk,
the constable had to come
and take him away.
Sherrif John Stone,
please leave me alone.
Well, I feel so broke-up,
I wanna go home.
3) Poor cook, he caught the fits,
threw away all my grits,
and then he took and ate
up all of my corn.
Let me go home,
please let me go home?
This is the worst trip
I've ever been on.
