We [C]come on the sloop John B

My grandfather and me

Around Nassau town, we did [G7]roam

Drinking all [C]night, got into a [F]fight

Well, I [C]feel so broke up, I [G7]wanna go [C]home

Chorus

[C]So hoist up the John B's sail, see how the mainsail sets

Call for the Captain ashore and let me go [G7]home,

I wanna go [C]home, I wanna go [F]home, yeah yeah

Well, I [C]feel so broke up, I [G7]wanna go [C]home

The [C]first mate he got drunk

And broke in the Captain's trunk

The constable to come and take him a[G7]way

Oh, Sheriff John [C]Stone, Why don't you leave me a[F]lone, yeah yeah

Well ,I [C]feel so broke up [G7]I wanna go [C]home

Chorus

The poor [C]cook he caught the fits, threw away all my grits

And then he took and he ate up all of my [G7]corn

Let me go [C]home, Why don't they let me go [F]home?

This [C]is the worst trip [G7]I've ever been [C]on
