Thread Name: Origin: Sloop John B
Subject: RE: Lyr req: Sloop John B
I thought the 'original' was written by Les Barker...
We looked for the Sloop John A; We looked for it all day; Round Nassau Town we did roam, A man on the pier, Said it wasn't here; We didn't find it, And then we went home.
Then we went home, We had to go home. Maybe the A's at sea; We had a good look round, Then we went home, Then we went home, We had to go home.
