Sloop John B. piano leadsheet with chords
We came on the Sloop John B.,
my grandfather and me.
'Round Nassau town we did roam.
Drinkin' all night, had many a fight.
I feel so broke up,
I wanna go home.
So hoist up the John B.
sails, and clean up the John B.
rails. Oh, captain, please come aboard and sail me back home.
The sloop, the John B.
can travel the sea, next time without me.
I wanna go home.
The first mate, he got so drunk,
he broke open my trunk.
Poor seasick me on the foam.
Oceans are grand, but give me the land.
I feel so broke up,
I wanna go home.
So hoist up the John B.
sails, and clean up the John B.
rails. Oh, captain, please come aboard and sail me back home.
The sloop, the John B.
can travel the sea, next time without me.
I wanna go home.
