Sloop John B

The Beach Boys

Transposer:

We come on the sloop John B My grandfather and me Around Nassau town we did roam Drinking all night Got into a fight Well I feel so broke up 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 The first mate he got drunk And broke in the captain'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, yeah yeah Well I feel so broke up I wanna 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, yeah yeah Well I feel so broke up I wanna go home

La chanson raconte l'histoire d'un narrateur et de son grand-père qui se retrouvent à naviguer autour de Nassau, mais leurs aventures se passent mal. Ils passent la nuit à boire et, après quelques incidents comme une bagarre et des problèmes avec l'équipage, le narrateur ressent un profond désir de rentrer chez lui. Il évoque des mésaventures incluant un membre d'équipage ivre et un cuisinier qui gère mal les provisions, ce qui ne fait qu'aggraver son envie de quitter ce voyage désastreux. Cette chanson, emblématique des Beach Boys, évoque un sentiment de désillusion et de nostalgie, tout en transportant l’auditeur dans une ambiance maritime festive mais chaotique.
