[C] [Ab]
We come on this Luke John B, my grandfather and me
Around Nassau town we [Eb] did roam
Drinkin' [Ab] all night, got into [Db] a fight
[Bbm] Well [Ab] I feel so broken, I wanna go home
So hoist up the John B sail, see how the name sail sets
Call for the captain ashore, let me [Eb] go home
Let me [Ab] go home, I wanna go [Db] home
Yeah, yeah, [Bbm] well [Ab] I feel so broken, [Eb] I wanna go [Ab] home
First thing he got drunk, broke in the captain's trunk
The constable had to come take him [Eb] away
Sheriff [Ab] John's gone, why don't you leave [Db] me all alone
[Bbm] Well [Ab] I feel so broken, [Db] [Eb] I wanna [Ab] go home
Hoist up the John B, hoist up the John B
See how the name sail, see how the name sail
Call for the captain ashore, let me [Eb] go home
Let me go home, I wanna [Ab] go home
Let me go home, let me go [Db] home
Hoist up the John B, hoist up the John [Ab] B
I feel so broken, [Db] [Eb] I wanna [Ab] go home
Let me go home
Poor cook, he caught the fin, threw away all my grid
Then he took and he ate up all of my [Eb] corn
Let me [Ab] go home, why don't they let me [Db] go home
[Bbm] This [Ab] is the worst trip [Eb] I've ever [Ab] been on
Hoist up the John B, hoist up the John B
See how the name sail, see how the name sail
Call for the captain ashore, let me go home
[Eb] [Ab]
[N]
