Lyrics - The Sloop John B. by Beach Boys

We sailed on the sloop
John
B.
My grandfather and me.
Round
Nassau town we did roam.
Drinkin' all nightwe got in a fight
I feel so breack-up
I want to go home.
Sohoist up the
John
B. sailssee how the mains'l's setsend for the captain ashorelet me go home!
Let me go home!
Let me go home!
I feel so break up
I want to go home!
The first mate he got drunk
Break up the people's trunk
Constable come aboard and take him away
Mr.
Johnstoneplease let me alone
I feel so break up
I want to go home!
Sohoist up the
John
B. sailssee how the mains'l's setsend for the captain ashorelet me go home!
Let me go home!
Let me go home!
I feel so break up
I want to go home!
The poor cook he got fits
Throw 'way all the girls
Then he took and eat up all o' my corn
Let me go home
I want to go home!
This is the worst trip since
I been born!
Sohoist up the
John
B. sails ...
