Wreck of the "Johnn B" Songtext
von The Weavers

We came on the sloop "John B"
My grandfather and me
′Round Nassau town we did roam
Drinking all night
We got into a fight
I feel so broke up
I want to go home

So hoist up the "John B" sail
See how the mainsail sets
Send for the captain ashore
Let me go home
Let me go home (let me go home)
Let me go home (let me go home)
I feel so broke up
I want to go home


The first mate he got drunk
Broke up the people's trunk
Constable had to come and take him away
Sheriff John Stone
Please let me alone
I feel so broke up
I want to go home

So hoist up the "John B" sail
See how the mainsail sets
Send for the captain ashore
Let me go home
Let me go home (let me go home)
Let me go home (let me go home)
I feel so broke up
I want to go home

Let me go home (le me go home)
Let me go home (let me go home)
I feel so broke up
I want to go home
