Catch 22

Wreck of the Sloop John B.

We come on the sloop John B
My grandfather and me
Around Nassau town we did roam

Drinking all night

Got into a fight
Well I feel so broke up
I want to go home

[Chorus:]
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
I wanna go home
Well I feel so broke up
I wanna go home

The first mate he got drunk
And broke in the Cap'n's trunk
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

[Chorus]

I wanna go home,
(I wanna go home / So host up the John B's sail)
I wanna go home,
(I wanna go home / See how the mainsail sets)
Well I feel so broke up I wanna go home

The poor cook he caught the fits
And threw away all my grits
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

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,
Why don't you let me go home
Well I feel so broke up
I wanna go home
