Forrest Gump movie - Sloop John B lyrics

rate me

Song by The Beach Boys<br /><br>

We come on the sloop John B<br>

My grandfather and me<br>

Around Nassau town we did roam<br>

Drinking all night<br>

Got into a fight<br>

Well I feel so broke up<br>

I want to go home<br>

<br>

So hoist up the John B's sail<br>

See how the mainsail sets<br>

Call for the Captain ashore<br>

Let me go home, let me go home<br>

I wanna go home, yeah yeah<br>

Well I feel so broke up<br>

I wanna go home<br>

<br>

The first mate he got drunk<br>

And broke in the Cap'n's trunk<br>

The constable had to come and take him away<br>

Sheriff John Stone<br>

Why don't you leave me alone, yeah yeah<br>

Well I feel so broke up I wanna go home<br>

<br>

So hoist up the John B's sail<br>

See how the mainsail sets<br>

Call for the Captain ashore<br>

Let me go home, let me go home<br>

I wanna go home, let me go home<br>

Why don't you let me go home<br>

(Hoist up the John B's sail)<br>

Hoist up the John B<br>

I feel so broke up I wanna go home<br>

Let me go home<br>

<br>

The poor cook he caught the fits<br>

And threw away all my grits<br>

And then he took and he ate up all of my corn<br>

Let me go home<br>

Why don't they let me go home<br>

This is the worst trip I've ever been on<br>

<br>

So hoist up the John B's sail<br>

See how the mainsail sets<br>

Call for the Captain ashore<br>

Let me go home, let me go home<br>

I wanna go home, let me go home<br>

Why don't you let me go home<br>

<br>
