Van Morrison - I Wanna Go Home Lyrics
[Intro:]
("Here's a very good old good one, see if you remember this one, see if we do!")
("This is gonna be nice, this is gonna be very nice")
Sailed on the Sloop John B
'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
'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)
I wanna go home
(Yes I do)
I feel so broke up
(He so broke up)
Lord, that I wanna go home
Home

Van Morrison I Wanna Go Home Comments
WOW WOW WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From a mad keen 76yo Aussie fan.
Heli-Crew--That's soul,not drunk.......You DICK-HEAD....
Morrison sings like a drunk.
You think that's easy? (JK) Van has a tight range of character voices. Somehow he still has a pretty good hit rate across a pretty wide range of material.
The Kingston Trio, followed by the Beach Boys, turned this into a harmony-arrangement tour de force. Fine for that interpretation but these two guys seem to tether the vocal timbres and arrangement to the storyline better. I love the unusual verse that Donegan added. Way more of a waterfront-character edge.
@Hans Werner-- I'm working on an arrangement. I perform this song often with the Lonnie Donegan lyrics.
Lonnie wow
wauw. And with van the Man. great skiffle AND blues.....Thank you.
