WE COME ON THE SLOOP JOHN B. MY GRAND-FATHER AND ME.
A-ROUND NASSAU TOWN, WE DO ROAM.
DRINKING ALL NIGHT, GOT INTO A FIGHT.
WELL I FEEL SO BROKE UP, I WANNA GO HOME.
SO HOIST UP THE JOHN B'S SAIL. SEE HOW THE MAIN SAIL SETS.
CALL FOR THE CAPTAIN A-SHORE, LET ME GO HOME.
LET ME GO HOME, I WANNA GO HOME, YEAH YEAH.
WELL I FEEL SO BROKE UP, I WANNA GO HOME.
THE FIRST MATE HE GOT DRUNK, AND BROKE IN THE CAPTAIN'S TRUNK.
THE CONSTABLE HAD TO COME, AND TAKE HIM A-WAY.
SHERIFF JOHN STONE, WHY DON'T YOU LEAVE ME A-LONE, YEAH YEAH.
WELL I FEEL SO BROKE UP, I WANNA GO HOME.
SO HOIST UP THE JOHN B'S (SA-IL),
HOIST UP THE JOHN BS.
./. |./. |
SEE HOW THE MAIN SAIL (SE-TS),
SEE HOW THE MAIN SAIL.
CALL FOR THE CAPTAIN A-SHORE, LET ME GO HOME, LET ME GO HOME.
/ (Break )
I WANNA GO HOME, LET ME GO HOME.
|
WHY DONT YOU LET ME GO (HOME), |
HOIST UP THE JOHN B'S (SAIL),
HOIST UP THE JOHN BS.
I FEEL SO BROKE UP, I WANNA GO HOME, (LET ME GO HOME).
THE POOR COOK HE CAUGHT THE FITS, AND THREW AWAY ALL MY GRITS.
AND THEN HE TOOK AND HE 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.
Ootro (Fade Out):
SO HOIST UP THE JOHN B'S (SA-IL),
HOIST UP THE JOHN BS.
./. |./. |
SEE HOW THE MAIN SAIL (SE-TS),
SEE HOW THE MAIN SAIL.
CALL FOR THE CAPTAIN A-SHORE, LET ME GO HOME, LET ME GO HOME.
I WANNA GO HOME, LET ME GO HOME.
WHY DONT YOU LET ME GO (HOME), |Am7
HOIST UP THE JOHN B'S (SAIL),
HOIST UP THE JOHN BS.
I FEEL SO BROKE UP, I WANNA GO HOME.
Have fun, DAIRYBEAT on:
