Sloop John B. Lyrics - Kingston Trio

We come on the sloop John be, 

My grandfather and me 

Around Nassau town we did roam 

Drinkin' all night 

Got into a fight (got into a fight) 

Well, I feel so break up 

I want to go home (I want to go home, so now) 

Hoist up the John be's sails 

See how the main sails set 

Call for the captain ashore 

Let me go home (Let me go home) 

Let me go home (I want to go home) 

I want to go home (Why don't you let me go home?) 

Well, I feel so break up 

I want to go home (I want to go home) 

First mate, he got drunk 

Broke up the people's trunk 

Constable had to come and take him away 

Sheriff John Stone (Sheriff John Stone) 

Why don't you leave me alone? (Why don't you leave me alone?) 

Well, I feel so break up 

I want to go home (I want to go home, so, now) 

Hoist up the John be's sails 

See how the main sails set 

Call for the captain ashore 

Let me go home (Let me go home) 

Let me go home (I want to go home) 

I want to go home (Why don't you let me go home?) 

Well, I feel so break up 

I want to go home (I want to go home) 

Well, the poor cook he caught the fits 

Throw away all of my grits. 

Then he took and he ate up all of my corn 

Let me go home (I want to go home) 

I want to go home (Why don't you let me go home?) 

This is the worst trip 

Since I've been born (Since I have been born, so, now) 

Hoist up the John be's sails 

See how the main sails set 

Call for the captain ashore 

Let me go home (Let me go home) 

Let me go home (I want to go home) 

I want to go home (Why don't you let me go home?) 

Well, I feel so break up 

I want to go home (I want to go home, so, now) 

Hoist up the John be's sails (John be's sails) 

See how the main sails set (main sails set) 

Call for the captain ashore 

Let me go home (Let me go home) 

Let me go home (I want to go home) 

I want to go home (Why don't you let me go home?) 

Well, I feel so break up 

I want to go home (I want to go home)
