Title: Sloop John B
Subtitle: Traditional
First Mate, he got drunk, broke up the people's trunk,
Constable had to come and take him away.
Sheriff John Stone, why don't you leave me alone'
Well I feel so break up, I wanta go home.
We cCome on the Sloop John B, my grandfather and me.
Around Nassau town we did rG7oam,
Drinking all nCight, Got into a fFight,
Well I fCeel so break up, G7I wanta go hCome.
C:Chorus:
So hCoist up the John B sail, see how the mains'l sets, Call for the captain ashore, let me go hG7ome. Let me go hCome, I wanta go hFome, Well I fCeel so break up, G7I wanta go hCome.C:Chorus.
The poor cook he caught the fits, threw away all my grits, Then he took and ate up all of my corn. Let me go home, I wanta go home, This is the worst trip I've ever been on.C:Chorus.
