We come on the sloop John B., my grandfather and me.
A E7
Around Nassau town we did roam.
A-A7 D
A-drinkin' all night, got into a fight,
A E7 A
Well, I feel so break-up, I want to go home.
<chorus>:
A A
So hoist up the John B. sails, see how the mainsail sets.
A E7
Send for the captain ashore, let me go home.
A-A7 D
I want to go home, I want to go home,
A E7 A
Well, I feel so break-up, I want to go home.
A A
Well, the first mate he got drunk, broke up the people's trunk,
A E7
The constable had to come and take him away.
A-A7 D
Oh, Sheriff John Stone, please leave me alone,
A E7 A
Well, I feel so break-up, I want to go home.

Well, the cook, he got fits, ate up all of my grits,
A E7
Then he took and threw away all the corn.
A-A7 D
Oh, Sheriff John Stone, please leave me alone,
A E7 A
This is the worst trip I've ever been on.
<chorus>
