Wreck of The "John B" - Jimmie Rodgers

We came on the sloop «John B»

My grandfather and me

'Round Nassau town we did roam

Stayed awake all night

We got into a fight

Well, I feel so broke up

I just want to go home

Hoist up the «John B» sail

See how the mainsail sets

Tell the captain ashore

I wanna go home

Well, I wanna go home

I wanna go home

Lord, I feel so broke up

I just wanna go home

Well, the first mate he got drunk

And he broke into somebody’s trunk

And the Sheriff had to come and take him away

Sheriff John Slone

Please let me alone

Well, I fell so broken up

I just wanna go home

Hoist up the «John B» sail

See how the mainsail sets

Tell the captain ashore

I wanna go home

Lord, I wanna go home

I just wanna go home

Well, I feel so broken up

I just wanna go home

Hoist up the «John B» sail

See how the mainsail sets

Tell the captain ashore

I wanna go home

Well, I wanna go home

I wanna go home

Lord, I feel so broken up

I just wanna go home

Well, I feel so broken up

I wanna go home
