We sailed on the old John B, my granddaddy and me Over the seven seas we did row We were drinkin' all day and fightin' all night Well I feel so break up, I wanna go home So pull up the anchor chain, hoist up the big mainsail Put down your helm and head right over the foam I wanna go home I wanna go home I feel so broke up, I wanna go home I feel so broke up, I wanna go home Now the captain's a wicked man Gets drunk anytime he can He don't give a damn, grandpappy and me He knocks us about and kicks us around I feel so broke up, I wanna go home So pull up the anchor chain, hoist up the big mainsail Put down your helm and head right over the foam I wanna go home I wanna go home I feel so broke up, I wanna go home I feel so broke up, I wanna go home
