We come on this loop John B, my grandfather and me, around Nassau town we [D] did roam, [A] [D] drinking [G] all night, got [C] into a fight.
Well [G] I feel so break up, [D] I wanna [G] go home, I want to go home.
I stop the John B sales, see how the main sales set, call for the captain ashore, let me [D] go home, let me go home, let me [G] go home.
