'Round Nassau town we did roam. We'd been drinkin' all night. Well I got into a fight. Yeah and I feel so broke up. I wanna go home. Hoist up the John B sail's. See how the mainsail sets. Send for the Captain ashore. And let me go home. I wanna go home I wanna go home yeah. 'Cause I feel so broke up I wanna go home. Yes I do. (He's so broke up Lord I wanna go home). Well Captain's a wicked man. He gets drunk any time he can. And he don't give a damn for grandpappy. No nor me. He kicks us around. And he knocks us about. Well I feel so broke up I. I wanna go home. Well pull up the John B's sails. See how the mainsail sets. Send for the Captain ashore. And let me go home. I wanna go home. Well I wanna go home. 'Cause I feel so broke up (he's so broke up).
