Wreck Of The Sloop John B. Lyrics - Alone In A Crowd - Catch 22

We come on the sloop John B 

My grandfather and me 

Around Nassau town we did roam 

Drinking all night 

Got into a fight 

Well I feel so broke up, I want to go home 

So hoist up the John B's sail 

See how the mainsail sets 

Call for the Captain ashore - let me go home 

Let me go home. 

I wanna go home, yeah yeah 

Well I feel so broke up - I wanna go home 

The first mate he got drunk 

Broke in the Cap'n's trunk 

The constable had to come and take him away 

Sheriff John Stone 

Why don't you leave me alone? yeah yeah 

Well I feel so broke up, I wanna go home 

So hoist up the John B's sail 

See how the mainsail sets 

Call for the Captain ashore Let me go home, let me go home 

(a capella) 

I wanna go home, let me go home 

(Why don't you let me go) 

Hoist up the John B's sail (Hoist up the John B) 

I feel so broke up 

I wanna go home. 

The poor cook he caught the fits 

And threw away all my grits 

And then he took and he ate up all of my corn 

Let me go home 

Why don't they let me go home? 

This is the worst trip 

I've ever been on 

So hoist up the John B's sail 

See how the mainsail sets 

Call for the Captain ashore - let me go home 

Let me go home. 

I wanna go home - let me go home 

Why don't you let me go home? 

(fade out)
