Down on the Sloop John B.

Traditional

[Verse 1]
We come on the sloop John B
My grandfather and me
Around Nassau town we did roam
Drinkin' all night
Got into a fight
Well, I feel so break up
I wanna 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, yeah, yeah
Well, I feel so break up
I wanna go home

[Verse 2]
The first mate, he got drunk
Broke in the captain's rum
The constable had to come to take him away
Sheriff John Stone
Why don't you leave me alone? Yeah, yеah
Well, I feel so break up
I wanna go home

[Chorus]
So, hoist up thе John B's sail (Hoist up the John B's sail)
See how the mainsail sets (See how the mainsail sets)
Call for the captain ashore, let me go home
Let me go home
I wanna go home, yeah, yeah
Well, I feel so break up
I wanna go home

[Outro]
So, hoist up the John B's sail (Hoist up the John B's sail)
See how the mainsail sets (See how the mainsail sets)
Call for the captain ashore, let me go home
Let me go home
