We come on this loop, John B, my grandfather and me
Around Nassau town we did roam
Drinking all night, got into a fight
Well, I feel so broken, I want to go home
So hoist up the John B. sail, see how the mainsail sets
Call for the captain ashore, let me go home
Let me go home
I want to go home
I want to go home
Yeah, yeah
Well, I feel so broken, I want to go home
The first mate, he got drunk
Broke him, the captain's drunk
The constable had to come and take him away
The sheriff, John Stone
Wow, John
Leave me alone
Yeah, yeah
Well, I feel so broken, I want to go home
So hoist up the John B, sail, see how the mainsail sets
Call for the captain ashore, let me go home
Let me go home
I want to go home
Let me go home
Let me go home
Pushed up the jumbies
Pushed up the jumbies
Feel so broke up
I wanna go home
Let me go home
Before Cook, he caught the fit
Threw away all my grit
And then he took and he ate up all of my corn
Let me go home
Why don't they let me go home
This is the worst trip I've ever been on
Pushed up the jumbies
Pushed up the jumbies
See how they make sales
See how they bring sales
Call for the captain ashore
Let me go home
Let me go home
Let me go home
Let me go home
Let me go home
