| lyric | 1. 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
Ref.: So hoist up the ""John B"" sails
see how we the top sails set,
send for the rist mate ashore
und let us go home,
oh well, we feel so
break up, we want to go home.
We came on the sloop „John B“.
2. The first mate he got drunk
And 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 want to go home |
