Refrain: ---------- 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, I wanna go home, yeah yeah Well I feel so broke up, I wanna go home (Ba-duh-dit, Ba-duh-dit, etc...)

(Add background ooooohs) The first mate he got drunk, and broke in the Cap'n's bunk The constable had to come and take him away Sheriff John Stone, (whaaa..) why don't you leave me alone, yeah yeah Well I feel so broke up I wanna go home

Refrain: Add "echo" -- c.p. at "home" etc

The poor cook he caught the fits, and threw away all my grits And then he took and he ate up all of my corn Let me go home, why don't they let me go ho-oh-me This is the worst trip I've ever been on

Refrain: as before without the c.p.
