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
