Bridge. Home, let me go home. (Why don't you let me go?) Hoist up the John B. sails. (Hoist up the John B.) I feel so broke up, I wanna go home.
 
3. The first mate he got drunk, broke up the people's trunk. Constable came aboard and took him away.
Mr. Johnstone please, let me alone. I feel so broke up, I wanna go home.
 
4. The poor cook he got the fits, threw 'way all of the grits then he took and ate up all of my corn.
