                    THE SLOOP JOHN B

          We came on the sloop John B,my grandfather and me
          Round Nassau town we did roam
          Drinkin' all night,got into a fight
          Well I feel so broke I want to go home

          Chorus
          Hoist up the John B sails
          See how the mainsail sets
          Call for the Captain ashore,let me go home
          Let me go home
          I want to go home
          Well I feel so broke I want to go home

          Now the first mate he got drunk
          Broke into somebodies trunk
          Constable had to come and take him away
          Sheriff John Slone
          Why don't you leave me alone
          Well I feel so broken up,I just want to go home

          Repeat Chorus
