Constable had to come and take him away
Then he took and ate up all of my corn
Then the cook, he caught the fits, threw out all of my grits
Well, this is the worst trip since I have been born
Well, I feel so homesick I wanna go home
So hoist up the John B sail, see how the mainsail sets
Call for the captain ashore, let me go home
So hoist up the John B sail, see how the mainsail sets
Let me go home, why don't you let me go home?
Well, I feel so homesick I wanna go home
Let me go home, why don't you let me go home?
The first mate, he got drunk, broke up the people's trunk
Call for the captain ashore, let me go home
Well, I feel so homesick I wanna go home
Sheriff John Stone, why don't you leave me alone?
Let me go home, why don't you let me go home?
Drinking all night, got into a fight
