I Wanna Go Home lyrics

WANNA GO HOME(sloop john B)

Lonnie Donegan's version

We sailed on the ole John B
My granddaddy and me,

over the seven seas we did roam

we were Drinking all day, fighting all nights

welI feel so breakup, I wanna to go home

.....................................................................

so pull up the anchor chain

hoist up the big main sail

put down your helm and head right over the foam

I wanna go home

I wanna go home

I feel so broke up, I wanna to go home

I feel so broke up, I wanna to go home
......................................................................

Now the Captain's a wicked man

keeps drunk any time he can

he don't give a damn grandpappy and me

he knocks us about

and kicks us around

feel so broke up,

wanna go home

so pull up the anchor chain ...

I believe I heard an earlier version by lonnie with lyrics practically the same as the beach boys version where he says "my Grandfather and Me" but this version seems to have been lost for ever, pity, it was better than the one currently on his album,I believe I heard this earlier version on the late 50's, not 1960 onward as most threads seem to indicate.
