Lyrics from the MIDI .kar music file

We come on the sloop John B
My grandfather and me
Around Nassau Town we do 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 sails
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home
Let me go home
I wanna go home, yeah yeah
Well, I feel so broke up
I wanna go home

The first mate, he got drunk
And broke in the Captain's bunk
The constable had to come
and 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 sails
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home
Let me go home
I wanna go home,
Well, I feel so broke up
I wanna go home

The fore cook, he caught the fits
And threw away all my grits
And then he took and he ate
up all of my comb
Let me go home
Why don't they let me go home
This is the worst trip
I've ever been on

So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sails
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home
Let me go home
I wanna go home
