Sloop John B. - Lyrics - Barry Mcguire

Old granddaddy and me Would sail on the Sloop John B Around Nassau town we did roam Got into a fight We were drinkin' all night Ya, now I feel so brake up I want to go home C'mon now we'll run up the John B's sail We gonna see how the mainsail sets We gotta send for the Captain ashore Oh let me go home, I wanna go home, yeah, let me go home Don't ya know I feel so brake up I just wanna go home Now the first mate he got drunk And broke up the people's trunk The constable had to come and take him away Ah, Sheriff John Stone Can't you leave him alone Oh now I feel so brake up, I just wanna go home C'mon lets all sing it now Ya, run up the John B's sail We gonna see how the mainsail sets We gotta send for the Captain ashore Oh let me go home, I wanna go home, And let me go home Ya now, I feel so brake up I just wanna go home And then the poor cook he, he took the fits (yeah) He ate up all my grits And then the first mate he got drunk And drank up all of my corn (how he get in here again, I don't know) Sheriff John Stone Why don't ya leave him alone C'mon now, I feel so brake up, I just wanna go home Run up it up now, yeah.... We'll run up the John B's sail We gonna see how the mainsail sets We gotta send for the Captain ashore Let me go home, Ah, I wanna go home, Ya let me go home Don't ya know, I feel so brake up I just wanna go home Run up it up again, yeah.... Ah, run up the John B's sail [Starts Fading] And see how the mainsail sets We gotta see...
