Sloop John B. (Beach Boys)
We come on the sloop John B., my grandfather and
me. Around Nassau town we did roam. A-drinkin'
all night, got into a fight, Well, I feel so
break-up, I want to go home.
[chorus]:
So hoist up the John B. sails, see how
the mainsail sets. Send for the
captain ashore, let me go home. I want
to go home, I want to go home, Well, I
feel so break-up, I want to go
home.
Well, the first mate he got drunk, broke up the
people's trunk, The constable had to come and
take him away. Oh, Sheriff John
Stone, please leave me alone, Well, I feel
so break-up, I want to go home.
[chorus]
Well, the cook, he got fits, ate up all of my
grits, Then he took and threw away all the corn.
Oh, Sheriff John Stone, please leave me
alone, This is the worst trip I've ever
been on.
[chorus]
