Roger McGuinn - The John B's Sails lyrics

[D] We come on the sloop John B My Grandfather and me Around Na**au town we did [A7] roam Drinkin' all [D] night Got into a [G] – [Em] fight Well, I [D] feel so break up, [A7] I want to go [D] home Chorus: Hoist up the John B's sails See how the main sails set Call for the captain ashore, let me go home Let me go home I want to go home Well, I feel so break up, I want to go home First mate, he got drunk Broke up the people's trunk Constable had to come and take him away Sheriff John Stone Why don't you leave me alone? Well, I feel so break up, I want to go home Chorus Well, the poor cook he caught the fits Throw away all of my grits Then he took and he ate up all of my corn Let me go home I want to go home This is the worst trip since I've been born Chorus
