I Want To Go Home Sloop John B

C
We sailed on the ship John B  my grandfather and me
                          G7
Around Nassau town we did roam
             C                F
Drinking all night got into a fight
       C                G7         C
Well I feel so homesick I wanna go home


So hoist up the John B sail  see how the mainsail sets
                                      G7
Call for the captain ashore let me go home
          C                             F
Let me go home  why don't you let me go home
       C                G7         C
Well I feel so homesick I wanna go home


The first mate he got drunk  broke up the people's trunk
                                   G7
Constable had to come and take him away
             C                             F
Sheriff John Stone  why don't you leave me alone
       C                G7         C
Well I feel so homesick I wanna go home


Then the cook he caught the fits  threw out all of my grits
                                  G7
Then he took and ate up all of my corn
          C                             F
Let me go home  why don't you let me go home
     C                      G7                C
Well this is the worst trip since I have been born
