Intro:(here's a very good old good one, see if you remember this one, see if we do!)(this is gonna be nice, this is gonna be very nice)
Sailed on the sloop john b
My granddaddy and me'round nassau town we did roam
We'd been drinkin' all night
Well I got into a fight
Yeah and I feel so broke up
I wanna go home
Hoist up the john b sail's
See how the mainsail sets
Send for the captain ashore
And let me go home
I wanna go home, I wanna go home, yeah'cause I feel so broke up, I wanna go home
Yes I do(he's so broke up, lord, I wanna go home)
Well captain's a wicked man
He gets drunk any time he can
And he don't give a damn for grandpappy
No, nor me
He kicks us around
And he knocks us about
Well I feel so broke up, i
I wanna go home
Well pull up the john b's sails
See how the mainsail sets
Send for the captain ashore
And let me go home
I wanna go home
Well, I wanna go home'cause I feel so broke up (he's so broke up)I wanna go home(yes I do)I feel so broke up(he so broke up)
Lord, that I wanna go home
Home
