Johnny Cash - I Want to Go Home lyrics

[Johnny Cash - I Want to Go Home lyrics]

We sailed on the ship John B
My grandfather and me
Around Nassau town we did roam
Drinking all night, got into a fight
Well, I feel so homesick I want to go home

So hoist up the John B sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the captain ashore, let me go home
Let me go home
Why don't you let me go home?
Well, I feel so homesick I want to go home

The first mate, he got drunk
Broke up the people's trunk
Constable had to come and take him away
Sheriff John Stone
Why don't you leave me alone?
Well, I feel so homesick I wanted to go home
Then the cook, he caught the fit's
Threw out all of my grit's


Then he took and ate up all of my corn
Let me go home
Why don't you let me go home?
Well, this is the worst trip
Since I have been born

So hoist up the John B sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the captain ashore, let me go home
Let me go home
Why don't you let me go home?
Well, I feel so homesick I want to go home
