G We come on the sloop John B My grandfather and me D Around Nassau town we did roam G Drinking all night C Am Got into a fight G Well I feel so broke up D G I want to go home Chorus: G So hoist up the John B’s sail See how the mainsail sets Call for the captain ashore D G Let me go home, let me go home C Am I wanna go home, yeah yeah G Well I feel so broke up D G I wanna go home G The first mate he got drunk And broke in the capn’s trunk D The constable had to come and take him away G Sheriff John Stone C Am Why don’t you leave me alone, yeah yeah G Well I feel so broke up D G I wanna go home Chorus: G So hoist up the John B’s sail See how the mainsail sets Call for the captain ashore D D Let me go home, let me go home G I wanna go home, let me go home, C Why donʼt you let me go home? Hoist up the John B, Hoist up the John B G Well I feel so broke up D G I wanna go home G The poor cook he caught the fits And threw away all my grits D And then he took and he ate up all of my corn G Let me go home C Am Why don’t they let me go home G This is the worst trip D G I’ve ever been on Chorus: G So hoist up the John B’s sail See how the mainsail sets Call for the captain ashore D G Let me go home, let me go home C Am I wanna go home, yeah yeah G Well I feel so broke up D G I wanna go home
