Lyrics

I sailed on the sloop John
My grandfather and me
Around Nassau town, we did roam
Drinking all night
Got into big fight
Well, now I feel so broke up
I want to go home
So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
I call for the captain ashore
Please let me go home
I wanna go home
Please let me go home
Well, now I feel so break up now
I wanna go home
So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
I call for the captain ashore
Please let me go home
I wanna go home
Oh, I wanna go home
Now this is the worst trip since I've been going
