Sloop John B lyrics

(For we…) sailed on the sloop John B, My grandpappi and me
Over the seven seas we did roam
Drinkin' all night, Got into a fight
Well I feel so broke up, I wanna go home

Chorus

So hoist up the John B's sail (hoist up the John B sail)
See how the mainsail sets (see how the main sail sets)
Call for the captain ashore, let me go home
I wanna go home (let me go home)
And I wanna go home
Well I feel so broke up (oh yeah), I wanna go home (...to Falmouth x3)

Now the Captain’s a wicked man, he gets drunk whenever he can,
And he don’t give a damn for grand pappy and me, (pappy and me)
He kicks us around and he knocks us about,
Well I feel so broke up (oh yeah), I wanna go home (...to Falmouth x3) (Chorus)

Now the first mate, he got drunk, And broke in the captain's trunk
And the constable had to come and take him away (take him away)
Sheriff John Stone, Why don't you leave me alone? 
Well I feel so broke up (oh yeah), I wanna go home (...to Falmouth x3) (Chorus)

The poor cook, he caught the fits
And threw away all of my grits
And then he took and he ate up all of my corn (all of my corn)
Let me go home, Why don't they let me go home?
This is the worst trip (oh yeah) I've ever been on (to Penryn x3) (Chorus)

SLOW: I feel so broke up (OH YEAH), I wanna go home.
