Beach Boys - Sloop John B 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
I want to go home
So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home, let me go home
I wanna go home, yeah yeah
Well I feel so broke up
I wanna go home
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 wanna go home
So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home, let me go home
I wanna 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 wanna 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 mainsail sets
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home, let me go home
I wanna go home, let me go home
Why don't you let me go home

Beach Boys Sloop John B Comments
I heard this song for the first time by Steve Curwood at Westtown School. Then of NPR. Wonderful.
This definitely was a sing along...LOVE IT!!
This song always reminds me of working away on a yacht. I used to play this so loud in the engine room and always think about going home to the kids. My daughter now loves it too and i love listening to it with her and having a good sing song!
This is a classic beach boy song!
I read where Keith Moon once said he would give his right nut to be the drummer for the Beach Boys. He was the best drummer in the world for the best rock band in the world and he would give it all away to be in The Beach Boys...that speaks volumes for this band!
Birds go wild for this on karaoke
Thanks, Al , for one of the best songs ever!
I'm with Brian, I don't like Mike.
Did any of you know there is really a Sheriff John Stone? Back in 1999 in charge of a school shooting investigation. I learned that name after I saw the Michael Moore documentary.
Only great song from The Beach Boys.
U right the rest are extraordinary
We're learning this in my choir and I love the song, I love it a little more now

Me waiting for the bus at 10 PM....
My favorite song that's not Johnny Horton
Just brilliant harmonies, another outstanding tune, bravo 👏
Goosebumps... if there’s an afterlife I hope 🤞 that I’m growing up in Southern California.
I been looking for this song for ages when I heard a few people sing this on a bus
This was my Father favorite song.

"This is the worst trip I've ever been on."
Sheriff John Stone
My favorite song!!!!!!!
Ich habe dieses schwungvolle Lied im Jahre 1994 mit meinen englischen Mitbrüdern in Chevilly la Rue bei Paris gesungen. Es war damals eine sehr lustige Stimmung. Gerne denke ich noch an diese Zeit zurück. Gelegentlich singe ich dieses Lied heute im Jahre 2019 noch.
Cool!😀

Grew up "Beach Boys"..class of "75" 💖
Brian Wilson can take the sound of a chicken clucking and turn it into a masterpiece of an arrangement. What a uniquely talented genius.
COPY..TO KING OF ROCK MR. CHUCK BERRY
Almost comfortable.
Wherever I lay my hat.
Aww - so great to see this after Paris '69. There, they did not look to be having fun. Here, so young and so happy!
My grand father played the beach boys at a barbecue and I've been listening to them ever since. He says I'm 13 years old and have an old soul.
fresh is so fresh : 2019
Brian Wilson music mastermind, nobody will be able to match his mastery in music.
ΤΙ ΚΑΙ ΑΝ ΜΕ ΠΛΗΓΩΣΕΣ ΑΔΙΑΦΟΡΩ. ΑΡΗΣ ΜΈΧΡΙ ΤΟΝ ΘΆΝΑΤΟ
February 2019 and I still love this song x
Did eat up all of my corn mean some one drank all the liquor? Thats great if it does.
A masterpiece
I dig this song - but Mike Love is annoying in many of the Beach Boys videos.
Checkout the Kingston Trio version 8 years before the Beach Boys release.
Still want it played at my funeral.

My Ma, worked at a restaurant that closed in the early 70’s. As a child in the 80’s, she gave my brother and I the box of 45’s that they gave her from the box, when they closed.
Used to play this one over and over as a child on the fisher price record player...
Seriously considering it as one of my funeral numbers. Have love this since I was a 15 year old kid. 67 now, and still own it as a part of my existence, My sister bought the 45 for me for my 15th birthday. It's a part of me.
الحمدلله على السمع والأبصار والأفئدة
Alhamdulillah for sight, hearing and heart.
Great song from the summer of 1960 god bless The Beach Boys they make us for ever young
This is the best song
This has always been my favorite Beach Boys song.
I fecking love the beach boys.., absolute classics!
I wonder if the dude that ate all the corn provisions
Sat on the musty scupper board and dropped a foot long
Niblet studded deuce into Nassau bay
الحمدلله على السمع والأبصار والأفئدة
Alhamdullilah for sight, hearing and heart.
Why did Charles Manson co-write songs with The Beach Boys? Anyone ever heard of the Clowns In America program called MK Ultra?
Love looks a right creep with the girl!
all these comments are from 2-4 years ago.. 2018 and this song is still amazing
SEL is For dissolving frozen fish with water
Billiard table size cistern
Song makes me think of my grandmother
So this is where the premier league chants started...
Music that will never die..!!
Carl, Dennis and Brian will always be The Beach Boys, Mike Love and Al Jardine are obviously founders aswell, but you cannot deny the 3 wilson brothers were the heart, soul and mind of the band.
Perfect harmonies, pure voices.
still an incredible song even in 2018 , timeless classic
Love these guys , classic
Miss my childhood
4 lads had a dream.....
Pitch perfect, and auto tune
Those were the days... wait... I was like 4.... so what. Those were good 'ol days I'm sure...🐵
What a great song👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
We won it 5 times
There is a 20 second pause in this video
I love everything about this song
WHAT A GREAT SONG ❤️❤️❤️
319 people need hearing checked.
I swear to God the Beach Boys are so confusing! Who sings What?? Off the time what I think is Brian is really carl and what I think is mike is al
love the beach boys this is a great song
oh i love this song..........makes me want to float on a raft on the ocean with a drink in my hand................
Why do all these blurts wana slag the B B off this band wos all good individual musicians no boom bang boom no flash light sets brian na playin in gods choir rip
I want a big boat...and my Beach Boy 45's!
Brilliant band ever since my teens followed em even na am 67 love listening there songs
Probably get acid thrown in your face driving round London like that these days.
I guess none of the Beachie Boys had a low draft number...
My favorite Beach Boys song.
Love the fans rushing the stage at the end of the video
just as grate as the beatles
better than beatles!! for starters Carl Wilson was/is A Better Singer than both Lennon & McCartney!! Just listen to God Only Knows
Mike Love.....what an imposter.
When I was in Iraq my closest buddy and I would play this song over and over to make light of our current situation. It lifted our spirits until it got to; "This is the worst trip I've ever been on." Then we got depressed again. It still holds sentimental meaning to me.
Dave 208 i feel you bro...poor people living in iraq does nothing...
So funny, dude. We did the same thing on our patrol base at night. Cheers!
WHERE ARE THE LUDES ?
