Capo I **
 
   A
We come on the sloop John B
 
My grandfather and me

Around Nassau town we did roam

Drinking all night

Got into a fight
       A
Well I feel so broke up
E            A
I want to go home
 
   A
So hoist up the John B’s sail

 
See how the mainsail sets
 
Call for the captain ashore

Let me go home,      let me go home

The first mate he got drunk
 
And broke in the capn’s trunk
                                        E
The constable had to come and take him away

The poor cook he caught the fits
 
And threw away all my grits
                                         E
And then he took and he ate up all of my corn

Why don’t they let me go home?

See how the mainsail sets (see how the mainsail)
 
Call for the captain ashore
