Sloop John B

     
      We come on the sloop John B.
      My Grandfather and me
      Around Nassau town we did roam
      Drinking all night
      Got into a fight
      Well, I feel so broke up
      I want to go home
      
      {Refrain}
      So hoist up the John B.'s sails
      See how the main sail sets
      Call for the Captain ashore 
      And let me go home
      Let me go home
      I want to go home, yeah, yeah 
      I want to go home
      
      The first mate he got drunk 
      He broke in the Captain's trunk
      The constable had to come and take him away 
       Sheriff John Stone
      Why don't you leave me alone, yeah, yeah 
      Well, I feel so broke up  I want to go home
      
      {Refrain}
      The poor cook he caught the fits 
      And threw away all of my grits
      And then he took and he 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
