Sloop John B
O'er we sail on the Sloop John B
My grandpappy and me
Over the seven seas we did roam
Drinking all night drinking all night
Got into a fight
Well I feel so broke up, oh yeah, I wanna go home
Do-bop-a-do-bop-a-do-bop-a-do-bop
So hoist up the John B sail hoist up the John B
See how the main sail sets see how the main sail
Call for the capatin ashore
Let me go home
I wanna go home
Let me go home, and I wanna go home
Hoist up the John B sail
Well, I feel so broke up, oh yeah, I wanna go home
Do-bop-a-do-bop-a-do-bop-a-do-bop
Now the captain's a wicked man
He gets drunk whenever he can
And he don't give a damn for grandpappy and me
He kicks us around kicks us around
And he knocks us about
Well I feel so broke up, oh yeah, I wanna go home
Do-bop-a-do-bop-a-do-bop-a-do-bop
So hoist up the John B sail hoist up the John B
See how the main sail sets see how the main sail
Call for the capatin ashore
Let me go home
I wanna go home
Let me go home, and I wanna go home
Hoist up the John B sail
Well, I feel so broke up, oh yeah, I wanna go home
Do-bop-a-do-bop-a-do-bop-a-do-bop
Now the first mate, he got drunk
And he broke in the captain's trunk
And the constable had to come and take him away
Sherriff John Stone Sherriff John Stone
Why don't you leave me alone?
Well, I feel so broke up, oh yeah, I wanna go home
Do-bop-a-do-bop-a-do-bop-a-do-bop
So hoist up the John B sail hoist up the John B
