I Wanna Go Home (The Wreck of the John 'b') - Lonnie Donegan

Sailed on the Sloop John be

My granddaddy and me

'Round Nassau town we did roam

We’d been drinkin' all night

Well I got into a fight

Yeah and I feel so broke up

I want to go home

Hoist up the John be sail’s

See how the mainsail sets

Send for the Captain ashore

And let me go home

I want to go home, I want to go home, yeah

'Cause I feel so broke up, I want to go home

Yes I do

(He's so broke up, Lord, I want to go home)

Well Captain’s a wicked man

He gets drunk any time he can

And he don’t give a damn for grandpappy

No, nor me

He kicks us around

And he knocks us about

Well I feel so broke up, I

I want to go home

Well pull up the John be 's sails

See how the mainsail sets

Send for the Captain ashore

And let me go home

I want to go home

Well, I want to go home

'Cause I feel so broke up (he's so broke up)

I want to go home

(Yes I do)

I feel so broke up

(He so broke up)

Lord, that I want to go home

Home
