well We come on the Sloop John B My grandfather and me all Around Na**au 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 sail See how the main sail sets Call for the Captain ashore Let me go home, let me go home I want to go home Well I feel so broke up I want to go home now The first mate he got drunk
And broke in the Cap'n's trunk The 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 want to go home hoist up the John B's sails See how the main sail sets Call for the Captain ashore Let me go home, let me go home I want to go home, let me go home Why don't you let me go home
