Sloop John B. Songtext
von The Hounds

We come out in 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 broke up
I wanna go home

So hoist up the John B′s sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the captain ashore
Let me go home
I wanna go home
Let me go home, yeah yeah
Well I feel so broke up
I wanna go home


The first mate he got drunk
We threw him in the captain's trunk
And called for the sheriff to come
Take him away
Sheriff John Stone
Why don′t you leave me alone? Yeah yeah
Well I feel so broke up
I wanna go home

So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the captain ashore
Let me go home
I wanna go home
Let me go home, yeah yeah
Well I feel so broke up
I wanna go home

We come out on the sloop John B
My grandfather and me
Round Nassau town we never roam
Leave me alone
Why don't you leave me alone? Yeah yeah
This is the worst trip
I′ve ever been on


So hoist up the John B′s sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the captain ashore
Let me go home
I wanna go home
Let me go home, yeah yeah
Well I feel so broke up
I wanna go home
