Oh, we come on the sloop John B.,
My gran’ -- fad -- der an’ me.
Round Nas -- sau Town we did roam,
Drink -- ing all night, we got in a fight,
I feel so break -- up I want to go home!
So hoist up the John B. sails,
See how de main -- sail set,
Send for de Cap -- t’n a -- shore,
Lem -- me go home!
Lem -- me go home!
Lem -- me go home!
I feel so break -- up I want to go home!
