We sailed on the old John B, my granddaddy and me Over the seven seas we did roam We were drinkin' all day and fighting 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 Oh, trouble is all we see, my granddaddy and me Feel like I wanna jump right over the rail I'd end up in jail, getting no bail Now 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 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
