[Dbm] [Ab] We come on this loop, John B, my grandfather and me.
Around Nassau town [Eb] we did.
Drinking [Ab] all night, got into [Db] a fight.
Well, [Ab] I feel so broke up, [Eb] 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] well [Ab] I feel so broke up, [Bbm] [Eb] I want to [Ab] go home.
The first mate he got drunk, broke in the captain's drum.
The constable had to come and take him [Eb] away.
Sheriff [Ab] John's gone, why don't you leave me [Db] alone?
Well, [Ab] I feel so broke [Db] up, I [Eb] want to [Ab] go home.
So hoist up the John B, hoist up the John B, see how the mainsail sets.
Call for the captain ashore, let me [Eb] go home.
Let me go home, I want to [Ab] go home.
Hoist up the John B, [Db] hoist up the John [Ab] B, feel so broke [Bbm] up.
[Eb] [Ab]
Poor Cook, he caught the fish, threw away all my grits.
Then he took and he ate up all of [Eb] my 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 been [Ab] on.
Hoist up the John B, hoist up the John B, see how the mainsail sets.
Call for the
[Eb] captain ashore, let me go home.
[Ab]
