A                             A
We come on the sloop John B., my grandfather and me.
 A                        E7
Around Nassau town we did roam.
               A-A7              D
A-drinkin' all night, got into a fight,
        A                 E7           A
Well, I feel so break-up, I want to go home.

chorus:
   A                           A
So hoist up the John B. sails, see how the mainsail sets.
A                                      E7
Send for the captain ashore, let me go home.
             A-A7               D
I want to go home, I want to go home,
        A                 E7           A
Well, I feel so break-up, I want to go home.

          A                        A
Well, the first mate he got drunk, broke up the people's trunk,
    A                                   E7
The constable had to come and take him away.
                 A-A7                    D
Oh, Sheriff John Stone, please leave me alone,
        A                 E7           A
Well, I feel so break-up, I want to go home.

chorus:
 A                           A
So hoist up the John B. sails, see how the mainsail sets.
A                                      E7
Send for the captain ashore, let me go home.
             A-A7               D
I want to go home, I want to go home,
        A                 E7           A
Well, I feel so break-up, I want to go home.


          A                  A
Well, the cook, he got fits, ate up all of my grits,
A                                   E7
Then he took and threw away all the corn.
                 A-A7                    D
Oh, Sheriff John Stone, please leave me alone,
A                      E7             A
This is the worst trip I've ever been on.


chorus:
 A                           A
So hoist up the John B. sails, see how the mainsail sets.
A                                      E7
Send for the captain ashore, let me go home.
             A-A7               D
I want to go home, I want to go home,
        A                 E7           A
Well, I feel so break-up, I want to go home.
