Sloop John B Lyrics - Relient K

[Originally by the Beach Boys] 

We come on the sloop John B 

My grandfather and me 

Around Nassau town we do roam 

Drinking all night, got into a fight 

Well I feel so broken up, I want go to 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 want to go home, why won't you let me go home? 

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

The first mate got drunk 

And broke in the Captain's trunk 

The constable had to come and take him away 

Sheriff John Stone, why don't you leave me alone? 

Well I feel so broken 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 want to go home, let me go home 

Why don't you let me go home? 

I feel so broken up, I want to go home 

Let me 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 won't you let me go home? 

This is the worst trip since I've been born 

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 want to go home, why don't you let me go home? 

I feel so broken up, I want to go home
