Sloop John B
The
Beach Boys - Sloop John B ( Rare Original Footage Twien Dutch TV )
Sloop
John B Instrumental by the Beach Boys
Lyrics
We come on the Sloop John B
My grandfather and me
Around Nassau town we did roam
Drinking all night
Got into a fight
Well I feel so broke up
I want to go home
So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the main sail sets
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home, let me go home
I want to go home, yeah yeah
Well I feel so broke up
I want to go home
The first mate he got drunk
And broke in the Cap'n's trunk
The constable had to come and take him away
Sheriff John Stone
Why don't you leave me alone, yeah yeah
Well I feel so broke up, I want to go home
So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the main sail sets
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home, let me go home
I want to go home, let me go home
Why don't you let me go home
(Hoist up the John B's sail)
Hoist up the John B
I feel so broke up I want to go home
Let me go home
The poor cook he caught the fits
And threw away all my grits
And then he took and he ate up all of my corn
Let me go home
Why don't they let me go home
This is the worst trip I've ever been on
So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the main sail sets
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home, let me go home
I want to go home, let me go home
Why don't you let me go home
My grandfather and me
Around Nassau town we did roam
Drinking all night
Got into a fight
Well I feel so broke up
I want to go home
So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the main sail sets
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home, let me go home
I want to go home, yeah yeah
Well I feel so broke up
I want to go home
The first mate he got drunk
And broke in the Cap'n's trunk
The constable had to come and take him away
Sheriff John Stone
Why don't you leave me alone, yeah yeah
Well I feel so broke up, I want to go home
So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the main sail sets
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home, let me go home
I want to go home, let me go home
Why don't you let me go home
(Hoist up the John B's sail)
Hoist up the John B
I feel so broke up I want to go home
Let me go home
The poor cook he caught the fits
And threw away all my grits
And then he took and he ate up all of my corn
Let me go home
Why don't they let me go home
This is the worst trip I've ever been on
So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the main sail sets
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home, let me go home
I want to go home, let me go home
Why don't you let me go home

Sloop John B
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Sloop
John B" is a traditional folk song from the
Bahamas, also known as "The
John B. Sails", which was included inCarl
Sandburg's 1927 collection of folk songs The American Songbag. It is best known for its folk
rock adaptation
by the
Beach Boys, which was produced and arranged by bandleader Brian
Wilson. Released two months before their 11th studio album Pet
Sounds (1966),
it served as the lead
single for the
album, peaking at number 3 in the US and number 2 in the UK. In several other
countries, the single was a number one hit.
Wilson
based his version on the 1958 recording by the
Kingston Trio, but took some liberties with the song's arrangement, changing
a few lyrics, and at the suggestion of bandmate Al
Jardine, modified one part of the song'schord
progression to
include a supertonic
chord (ii).
The Beach Boys' Brian Wilson, his brother Carl
Wilson, their cousinMike
Love, and their friend Al Jardine all share lead vocal duties, while
the instrumentation was provided mostly by thesession
musician conglomerate
nicknamed "the Wrecking Crew".[not verified in body]
The
song remains one of the group's best-remembered recordings of their mid 1960s
period, containing an unusual and elaborate a
cappella vocal
section that was unlike anything in the pop music of its era.[4] In 2011, the group's version of "Sloop
John B" was ranked #271 on Rolling
Stone's list
of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All
Time".[5]
