[Bbm] [Ab] Well, I feel so broke [Eb] up, I [Cm] want to [Ab] go home.
So hoist up the John B sail, see how the mainsail sets.
Call for the captain ashore, let me [Eb] go home.
Let me [Ab] go home, I want to [Db] go home.
Yeah, [Bbm] yeah, [Cm] well, [Ab] I feel so broke up, [Eb] I want to go [Ab] home.
The first mate, he got drunk, broke in the captain's trunk.
The constable had to come and take him [Eb] away.
Sheriff [Ab] John's gone, why don't you leave me [Db] alone?
[Bbm]

[Bbm] [Ab] This is the worst [Eb] trip I've ever [Ab] been on.
