the beach boys - sloop john b (live at carnegie hall) lyrics

[verse 1: brian wilson]
we come on the sloop john b
my grandfather and me
around nassau town we did roam
drinkin’ all night
got into a fight
well, i feel so broke up
i wanna go home

[chorus: brian wilson & mike love]
so hoist up the john b’s sail
see how the mainsail sets
call for the captain ashore, let me go home
let me go home
why don’t they let me go home? yeah, yeah
well, i feel so broke up
i wanna go home
[verse 2: mike love]
the first mate, he got drunk
and broke in the captain’s trunk
the constable had to come and take him away
sheriff john stone
why don’t you leave me alone?
well, i feel so broke up
i wish i could go home

[chorus: all]
so hoist up the john b’s sail (hoist up the john b’s sail)
see how the mainsail sets (see how the mainsail sets)
call for the captain ashore, let me go home
let me go home, i wanna go home (hoist up the john b’s sail)
why don’t they let me go?
hoist up the john b sail (hoist up the john b)
i feel so broke up
i wish i could go home

[verse 3: brian wilson]
poor cook, he caught the fits
threw away all my grits
then he took and he ate up all of my corn
let me go home (woo)
why don’t they let me go home? yeah, yeah
this is the worst trip i’ve ever been on
[chorus: all]
so hoist up the john b’s sail (hoist up the john b’s sail)
see how the mainsail sets (see how the mainsail sets)
call for the captain ashore, let me go home
let me go home, i wanna go home (hoist up the john b’s sail)
why don’t they let me go?
hoist up the john b sail (hoist up the john b)
this is the worst trip i’ve ever been on

[outro]
happy thanksgiving, thank you
