Lyrics
We came on the sloop John B
My grandfather and me
'Round Nas-sau town we did roam.
Drinking all night,
Hhad many a fight.
Oh I feel so broke up
I wanna go home.
CHORUS
So hoist up the John B. sails,
And scrub down all of the rails
Oh Captain please come aboard
And sail me back home
The sloop John B.
Will sail the sea, for sure
Next time without me
I wanna go home
The first mate he got drunk,
He broke open my trunk
Poor seasick me all over the foam,
Oceans are grand,
Just give me the land
I feel so broke up,
I wanna go home. CHORUS
Our cook he got the fits
He ate up all of my grits
Into the soup he put his comb
A terrible trip on a terrible ship, oh yea
I feel so broke up,
I wanna go home CHORUS
