'Round Nassau town we did roam

Drinking all night

We got into a fight
E
I feel so brake up

I wana go home
[Chorus]

So hoist up the John B's sail

See how the mainsail sets

Send for the Captain ashore

Let me go home, let me go home
A Am
Let me go home

I feel so brake up

I wanna go home

Poor cook he caught the fits

Since I've been born
