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 broke up

I want to go home
[Chorus]

So 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
C
Well I feel so broke up
G C
I wanna go home

Well I feel so broke up I wanna go home

So 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
