see how the main sail sets

send for the captain ashore let me go home

i want to go home

oh i feel so break up

i want to go home

so

hoist up the john b sails

see how the main sail sets

send for the captain ashore let me go home

i want to go home

please let me go home

i want to go home

i feel so break up

i want to go home
