[C] [Dbm]
[Ab] We come on this loop John B, my grandfather and me
Around this town we [Eb] did roam
Drinking [Ab] all night, got into a [Db] fight
Well [Ab] I feel so broke up, [Eb] I wanna [Ab] go home
So hoist up the John B sail, see how the mainsail sails
Call for the captain ashore, let me [Eb] go home
Let me [Ab] go home, I wanna go [Db] home
Yeah, [Bbm] yeah, well [Ab] I feel so broke up, [Bbm] [Eb] I wanna 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 Stone, why don't you leave me [Db] alone
Well [Ab] I feel so broke up, [Db] I [Eb] wanna [Ab] go home
Hoist up the John B, hoist up the John B
See how the mainsail sails, see how the mainsail sails
Call for the captain ashore, let me [Eb] go home
Let me go home, I wanna [Ab] go home
Let me go home, I wanna go [Db] home
Hoist up the John B sail,
[Ab] I feel so broke [Bbm] up, [Eb] I wanna
[Ab]
go home
The poor cook he caught the fish, threw away all my grit
And 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]
[Ab] This is the worst trip [Eb] I've ever [Ab] been on
Hoist up the John B, hoist up the John B
See how the mainsail sails, see how the mainsail sails
Call for the captain ashore, let me [Eb] go home
[Ab] [Db]
