Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Sailed on the Sloop John B

My granddaddy and me

'Round Nassau town, we did roam

We've been drinkin' all night

Got into a fight

Yeah, and I feel so broke up

I want to go home

[Verse 2]

Hoist up the John B sail's

See how the main sail sets

Send for the Captain ashore

And let me go home

I want to go home

I want to go home, yeah

'Cause I feel so broke up, I want to go home

Yes, I do

(He's so broke up, Lord, I want to go home)

[Verse 3]

Well, Captains a wicked man

He gets drunk any time he can

And he don't give a damn for grandpappy

No, nor me

He kicks us around

And he knocks us about

Well I feel so broke up

I want to go home

[Verse 4]

Well pull up the John B's sails

See how the main sail sets

Send for the Captain ashore

And let me go home

I want to go home

I want to go home

'Cause I feel so broke up, I want to go home

(Yes, I do)

I feel so broke up

(He's so broke up)

Lord, that I want to go home

Home
