The Brothers Four - The John B Sails lyrics

rate me

We come on the sloop John B My grandfather and me 'Round Nassau town we did roam Drinking all night Got into a fight Well, I feel so brake up I want to go home. So hoist up the John B's sail See how the mainsail sets Send for the Captain ashore Let me go home, let me go home I wanna go home, Well, I feel so brake up I wanna go home. Well, the first mate he got drunk And broke in the people's trunk The constable had to come and take him away Sheriff John Stone Won't you leave me alone, Well, this thing I work with Since I've been born. So hoist up the John B's sail See how the mainsail sets Send for the Captain ashore Let me go home, let me go home I wanna go home, Well, I feel so brake up I wanna go home. --- Instrumental --- Well, the poor cook he caught the fits And threw away all my grits Then he took and he ate up all of my corn Where is John Stone Why don't you leave me alone Well, I feel so brake up I wanna go home. So hoist up the John B's sail See how the mainsail sets Send for the Captain ashore Let me go home, let me go home I wanna go home, Well, I feel so brake up I wanna go home. Well, I feel so brake up I wanna go home...
