We come on the Sloop John B.
My grandfather and me
around of Nassautown we did roam
and drinking all night
got into a fight
well, I feel so broke up,
I want to go home.

So hoist up the John B. sails
and see how the man sail's set
send for the captain ashore
let us go home, let us go home,
oh we feel so broke up,
we want to go home!
