We come on the sloop John B
My grandfather and me
'Round Nassau town we did roam
Drinking all night, we got into a fight
I feel so breakup, I want to go home
So hoist up the John B sails
See how the mains'l's set
Send for the captain ashore
Let me go home
Let me go home
Let me go home
I feel so breakup
I want to go home
The first mate he got drunk
Broke up the people's trunk
Constable had to come and take him away
Sheriff Johnstone, please let me alone
I fell so breakup, I want to go home
So hoist up the John B sails
See how the mains'l's set
Send for the captain ashore
Let me go home
Let me go home
Let me go home
I feel so breakup
I want to go home
The stewardess she got stewed
Ran 'round the poop deck nude
Constable had to come and take her away
Sheriff Johnstone please let me alone
I feel so breakup, I want to to home
So hoist up the John B sails
See how the mains'l's set
Send for the captain ashore
Let me go home
Let me go home
Let me go home
I feel so breakup
I want to go home
