G We come on the sloop John B, my Grandfather and me D D7 Around Nassau town we did roam G G7 C C/B Am Drinking all night got into a fight G D G C G Well I feel so brake up I want to go home {Refrain: G So heist up the John B's sail, see how the mainsail sets G Call for the captain ashore D D7 G G7 Let me go home, let me go home C C/B Am I wanna go home, yeah yeah G D G C G Well I feel so brake up I wanna go home } |
G The first mate he got drunk and broke in the capn's trunk D D7 The constable had to come and take him away G G7 C C/B Am Sheriff John Stone why don't you leave me alone, yeah yeah G D G C G Well I feel so brake up I wanna go home [REFRAIN] G The poor cook he caught the fits and threw away all my grits D D7 And then he took and he at up all of my corn G G7 C C/B Am Let me go home, why don't they let me go home G D G C G This is the worst trip I've ever been on ------------------------------------ JC Version || JC Setlist || Tunelist Originally titled The John B Sails, this shanty was a Nassau Bahamian folk song. C G verse end transition and D7s are original I think. Hoist is pronounced heist. Broke up is pronounced break up. These are so hard for me to remember I had to put it in here phonetically. |
