We comeon the
Sloop

My grandfather and me
Around
Nassau
Town we did to roam
Drinking all night, got into a fight
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, yeah, yeah
Well
I feel so broke up
I wanna 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

Stone
Why don't you leave me alone
Well
I feel so broke up
I wanna go home
So hoist up the

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,
Let me go home
Hoist up the
John
B's sail
Well
I feel so broke up
I wanna go home
The poor cook
He caught the fits
He threw away
All 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
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...
