Sloop John B Lyrics

Artist: Me First and the Gimme Gimmes
Album: Blowin' In The Wind

Sloop John B!
Sloop John B!
Sloop John B!
Sloop John B!

We come on the Sloop John B
My Grandfather and me
Around Nassau Twon we did rome
Drinkin' all night
Got into a fight
Well, I feel so broke up
I wanna go home

The first mate he got drunk
Broke in the captain's trunk
The constable had to come and take him away
Sheriff John Stone
Why don't you leave me alone
Well, I feel so broke up
I wanna go home

So hoist up the John B sail
See how the main sail sets
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home
Let me go home
I wanna go home, yeah yeah
I feel so broke up
I wanna go home

The poor cook, he caught the shits
And threw away all my grits
Then, he took and ate up all of my corn
Let me go home
(Let me go home)
I really wanna go home
(Hoist up the John B sail)
(Hoist up the John B)
This is the worst trip I've ever been on

So hoist up the John B sail
See how the main sail sets
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home
Let me go home
I wanna go home, yeah yeah
I feel so broke up
I wanna go home
(I wanna go home)
I wanna go home
(I wanna go home)
I wanna go home
