Sloop John B Lyrics - Me First And The Gimme Gimmes

We come on the sloop John B 

Grandfather and me 

Around Nassau Town we did roam 

Drinking all night 

Got into a fight 

Well I feel so broke up, I wanna go home 

The first mate he got drunk 

Broke in the captains bunk 

The constable had to come and take him away 

Sheriff John Stone 

Why don't you leave me alone? 

Well I feel so broke up I wanna go home 

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 

I feel so broke up, I wanna go home 

The poor cook he caught the shits 

And threw away all my grits 

And then he took and ate up all of my corn 

Let me go home 

Why don't they let me go home? 

This is the worst trip I've ever been on
