We come on the John B
My grandfather and me
Around Nassau town we did roam
Drinkin' all night
Got into a fight
Well I feel so broken
I want to go home
So hoist up the John B's sail
And see how the mainsail's set
Call for the Captain ashore to let me go home
Let me go home
Why don't they let me go home, yeah yeah
Well I feel so broken
I want to go home
The first mate he got drunk
Broke in the Captain's trunk
The constable had to come
To take him away
Sheriff John Stone
Won't you leave me alone, yeah yeah
Well I feel so broken
I want to go home
So hoist up the John B's sail
And see how the mainsail's set
Call for the Captain ashore to let me go home
Let me go home
Why don't they let me go home, yeah yeah
Well I feel so broken
I want to go home
Threw away all my grits
Then he took and he ate up all of my corn
Let me go home
Why don't they let me go home
This is the worst trip
I've ever been on
