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
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
