Sloop John B

Oh 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 sail)

See how the main sail sets (see how the main sail sets)

Call for the captain ashore, let me go home

I wanna go home (let me go home), 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 sail)

See how the main sail sets (see how the main sail sets)

Call for the captain ashore, let me go home

I wanna go home (let me go home), 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 sail)

See how the main sail sets (see how the main sail sets)

Call for the captain ashore, let me go home

I wanna go home (let me go home), 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

So hoist up the John B sail (hoist up the John B sail)

See how the main sail sets (see how the main sail sets)

Call for the captain ashore, let me go home

I wanna go home (let me go home), 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
