The Brothers Four – The John B Sails
We come on the sloop John B
My grandfather and me
'Round Nassau town we did roam
Drinking all night
Got into a fight
Well I feel so brake up
I want to go home
So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
Send for the Captain ashore
Let me go home let me go home
Let me go home
Well I feel so brake up
I wanna go home
Well the first mate he got drunk
And broke in the people's trunk
The constable had to come and take him away
Sheriff John Stone
Won't you leave me alone
Well this thing I work with
So I wanna go home
So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
Send for the Captain ashore
Let me go home let me go home
Let me go home
Well I feel so brake up
I wanna go home
--- Instrumental ---
Well the poor cook he caught the fits
And threw away all my grits
Then he took and he ate up all of my corn
Where is John Stone
Why don't you leave me alone
Well I feel so brake up
Since I've been born
So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
Send for the Captain ashore
Let me go home let me go home
Let me go home
This thing I work with
Since I've been born
Well I wanna go home
Let me go home
Let me go home
I feel so brake up
I wanna go home
