Lyrics
[Verse 1]
For we sail on the Sloop John B
My Grandpappy and me
Over the Seven Seas we did roam
Drinking all night (Drinking all night)
Got into a fight
Well, I feel so broke up (Oh yeah)
I want to go home
[Verse 2]
So hoist up the John B sail (Hoist up the John B sail)
See how the mainsail sets (See how the mainsail sets)
Call for the Captain ashore, let me go home
I wanna go home (Let me go home)
And I wanna go (Hoist up the John B sail)
Well, I feel so broke up (Oh yeah)
I want to go home
[Verse 3]
Now the captain's a wicked man
He gets drunk whenever he can
And he don't give a damn for Grandpappy and me
He kicks us around (Kicks us around)
And he knocks us about
Well, I feel so broke up (Oh yeah)
I want to go home
[Verse 4]
So hoist up the John B sail (Hoist up the John B sail)
See how the mainsail sets (See how the mainsail sets)
Call for the Captain ashore, let me go home
I wanna go home (Let me go home)
And I wanna go (Hoist up the John B sail)
Well, I feel so broke up (Oh yeah)
I want to go home
[Verse 5]
Now the first mate, he got drunk
And he broke in the captain's trunk
And the constable had to come and take him away
Sheriff John Stone (Sheriff John Stone)
Why don't you leave me alone?
Well, I feel so broke up (Oh yeah)
I wanna go home
[Verse 6]
So hoist up the John B sail (Hoist up the John B sail)
See how the mainsail sets (See how the mainsail sets)
Call for the Captain ashore, let me go home
I wanna go home (Let me go home)
And I wanna go (Hoist up the John B sail)
Well, I feel so broke up (Oh yeah)
I want to go home
[Verse 7]
So hoist up the John B sail (Hoist up the John B sail)
See how the mainsail sets (See how the mainsail sets)
Call for the Captain ashore, let me go home
I wanna go home (Let me go home)
And I wanna go (Hoist up the John B sail)
Well, I feel so broke up (Oh yeah)
I want to go home
[Verse 8]
I feel so broke up (Oh yeah)
I want to go home
