The Tokens — The Wreck of the John B. lyrics

Lyrics

We come on the sloop John B
My grandfather and me
Round Nassau town we did roam
Drinkin' all night (drinkin' all night)
We got into a fight (got into a fight)
I feel so break up
I want to go home (I want to go home)
So
Hoist up the John B sails (hoist up the John B sails)
See how the main sail sets (see how the main sail sets)
Send for the captain ashore (oh) let me go home
I want to go home (I want to go home)
Please let me go home (please let me go home)
Yes, I want to go home (I want to go home)
I feel so break up
I want to go home (I want to go home)
Yeah, the first day he got drunk
He broke up the people’s trunk
Well the constable had to come and take him away
Oh, Sheriff John Stone (Sheriff John Stone)
Why don’t you leave me alone (leave me alone)
Oh I feel so break up
I want to go home (I want to go home)
So
Hoist up the John B sails (hoist up the John B sails)
See how the main sail sets (see how the main sail sets)
Send for the captain ashore (oh) let me go home
I want to go home (I want to go home)
Please let me go home (please let me go home)
Yes, I want to go home (I want to go home)
I feel so break up
I want to go home
