Intro: (here's a very good old good one, see if you remember this one, see if we do!) (this is gonna be nice, this is gonna be very nice)
Sailed on the sloop john b My granddaddy and me 'round nassau town we did roam We'd been drinkin' all night Well I got into a fight Yeah and I feel so broke up I wanna go home
Hoist up the john b sail's See how the mainsail sets Send for the captain ashore And let me go home I wanna go home, I wanna go home, yeah 'cause I feel so broke up, I wanna go home Yes I do (he's so broke up, lord, I wanna go home)
Well captain's a wicked man He gets drunk any time he can And he don't give a damn for grandpappy No, nor me He kicks us around And he knocks us about Well I feel so broke up, i I wanna go home
Well pull up the john b's sails See how the mainsail sets Send for the captain ashore And let me go home I wanna go home Well, I wanna go home 'cause I feel so broke up (he's so broke up) I wanna go home (yes I do) I feel so broke up (he so broke up) Lord, that I wanna go home Home
