"Sloop John B" lyrics - ME FIRST AND THE GIMME GIMMES

Sloop John B
Sloop John B
Sloop John B
Sloop John B

Come on the sloop john b
Grandfather and me
Around Nassau town we did roam
Drinkin all night
Got into a fight
Well I feel so broke up
I wanna go home

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 sails
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the captain ashore
And let me go home
Let me go home
I wanna go home yea yea
I feel so broke up
I wanna go home

The poor cook he caught the shits
And threw away all my grits
Then he took and ate up all o' my corn
Let me go home
(Oh let me go home)
Why won't they let me go home
(Hoist up the john b's sails)
This is the worst trip I've ever been on

So hoist of the john b's sails
See how the mainsails sets
Call for the captain ashore
And let me go home
Let me go home
I really want to go home
I feel so broke up
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
