I Want To Go Home (aka Sloop John B)   
Recorded by Johnny Cash 
Written by Brian Wilson 
  
C 
We sailed on the ship John B  my grandfather and me  
                          G7 
Around Nassau town we did roam  
             C                F 
Drinking all night got into a fight  
       C                G7         C 
Well I feel so homesick I wanna go home 

                      
So hoist up the John B sail  see how the mainsail sets  
                                      G7 
Call for the captain ashore let me go home  
          C                             F 
Let me go home  why don't you let me go home  
       C                G7         C 
Well I feel so homesick I wanna go home 


The first mate he got drunk  broke up the people's trunk  
                                   G7 
Constable had to come and take him away  
             C                             F 
Sheriff John Stone  why don't you leave me alone  
       C                G7         C 
Well I feel so homesick I wanna go home 


Then the cook he caught the fits  threw out all of my grits  
                                  G7 
Then he took and ate up all of my corn  
          C                             F 
Let me go home  why don't you let me go home  
     C                      G7                C 
Well this is the worst trip since I have been born 

Repeat #2
