We come on the sloop john b

My grandfather and me

'Round nassau town we did roam

Drinking all night we got into a fight

I feel so breakup I want to go home

So hoist up the john b sails

See how the mains'l's set

Send for the captain ashore

Let me go home

Let me go home let me go home

Let me go home let me go home

I feel so breakup

I want to go home

The first mate he got drunk

Broke up the people's trunk

Constable had to come and take him away

Sheriff johnstone please let me alone

I fell so breakup I want to go home

So hoist up the john b sails

See how the mains'l's set

Send for the captain ashore

Let me go home

Let me go home let me go home

Let me go home let me go home

I feel so breakup

I want to go home

Let me go home let me go home

Let me go home let me go home

I feel so breakup

I want to go home
