-
We sailed the old ‘John B’,
My gran’pappy and me.
Over the seven seas we did roam.
We were drinking all day,
Fighting all night,
Well, I feel so broke up!
I wanna go home!
CHORUS
So pull up the anchor chain,
Hoist up the big main sail,
Follow your helm,
And head right over the foam.
I wanna go home!
I wanna go home!
I feel so broke up!
I wanna go home!
Oh! trouble is all we see,
My grand-daddy and me.
Feel like I want to jump
Right over the rail.
I’d end up in jail,
Getting no bail.
Now I feel so broke up!
I wanna go home! (Chorus)
The Captain’s a wicked man,
Gets drunk any time he can.
He don’t give a damn
For grandpappy and me,
He knocks us about,
Kicks us around.
Well, I feel so broke up!
I wanna go home! (Chorus)VIEW COMPLETE FEWER LYRICS
