SLOOP JOHN B

Beachboys

We come out in 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 wanna go home

So hoist up the John B sail, see how the main sail set
Call for the Captain ashore, let me go home
Let me go home, I wanna go home - oh yeah
Well, I feel so broke up, I wanna go home

The first mate he got drunk, he broke into the Captains trunk
A constable had to come and take him away
Sheriff John Stone, why don't you leave me alone
Well, I feel so broke up, I wanna go home

So hoist up the John B sail, see how the main sail set
Call for the Captain ashore, let me go home
Let me go home, I wanna go home - oh yeah
Well, I feel so broke up, I wanna go home

The poor cook he got the fits, he threw away all my grits
Then he took and ate up all of my corn
Let me go home, why don't you let me go home
This is the worst trip, I've ever been on

So hoist up the John B sail, see how the main sail set
Call for the Captain ashore, let me go home
Let me go home, I wanna go home - oh yeah
Well, I feel so broke up, I wanna go home
