Lyrics
We come on the sloop, “John B,”
My grandfather and me;
‘Round Nassau town we did roam,
Drinkin’ all night we got into a flight;
I feel so breakup, I want to go home.

CHORUS:
So hoist up the “John B” sails,
See how the main sail set,
Send for 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 break up, I want to go home.

The first mate, oh, he got drunk,
He broke up the people’s trunk;
Constable had to come and take him away,
Sheriff Johnstone, please let me alone;
I feel so break up, I want to go home.

CHORUS
