Hoist up the John B Sail Hoist up the John B Sail, See how the main sail set. Send for the Captain ashore, And let us go home. Oh let us go home, To see my darlin'. Let us go home.... I feel so break-up I want to make-up [set sail] And go home.... Captain and Mate got drunk, Open the people's trunk, Stole all the people's junk. The Captain raise Cain uptown. Up come Policeman Brown. Who took the Captain down. The judge he was sorta' kind, Scold him for drinkin' wine. "Let you off light this time." The Captain he told the Mate, At nine o'clock to lock the gate; Run, run before it's too late! Chorus: Let us go home, oh let us go home, To see my darlin', let us go home...
