Sloop John B
By the Beach Boys
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
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
Well, I feel so broke up
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
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
Well, I feel so broke up
I want to go home
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
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
Well, I feel so broke up
I want to go home
