" Sloop John B"
words & music by
Paul Rolnick & Paul Guzzone
We come on the Sloop John B
My grandfather and me
Around Nassau town we did roam
Drinking all night
Got into a fight
Well I feel so brake up
I want to go home
Hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home,
Let me go home
I wanna go home
Well I feel so brake up
I wanna go home
First mate he got drunk
Broke up the people's trunk
Constable had to come and take him away
Sheriff John Stone
Why don't you leave me alone,
Well I feel so brake up
I wanna go home
Hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home
Let me go home
I wanna go home,
Well I feel so brake up
I wanna go home
Well the poor cook he caught the fits
Throw away all my grits
Then he took and he ate up all of my corn
Let me go home
I wanna go home,
This is the worst trip since I've been born
Hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home
Let me go home,
I wanna go home,
Well I feel so brake up
I wanna go home
Hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home
Let me go home,
I wanna go home,
Well I feel so brake up
I wanna go home
I feel so brake up
I wanna go home
