Sailed on the sloop John B
My granddaddy and me
'Round Nassau Town we did roam
We'd been drinkin' all night
Well, I got into a fight
Yeah and I feel so broke up
I wanna go home
Hoist up the John B sail's
See how the mainsail sets
Send for the captain ashore
And let me go home
I wanna go home, I wanna go home, yeah
'Cause I feel so broke up, I wanna go home
Yes, I do
(He's so broke up, Lord, I wanna go home)
Well, captain's a wicked man
He gets drunk any time he can
And he don't give a damn for grand pappy
No, nor me, he kicks us around
And he knocks us about
Well, I feel so broke up
I, I wanna go home
Well, pull up the John B's sails
See how the mainsail sets
Send for the captain ashore
And let me go home
I wanna go home
Well, I wanna go home
'Cause I feel so broke up
(He's so broke up)
I wanna go home
(Yes, I do)
I feel so broke up
(He so broke up)
Lord that I wanna go home, home
