Around Nassau town we do

Well I

[G] I wanna go
[C] home

Call for the Captain ashore, let me go
[G] home
Let me go

[F] home, yeah yeah
Well I
[C] feel so broke up,
[G] I wanna go
[C] home

[G] I wanna go
[C] home

[C] The poor cook he caught the fits, and threw away all my grits
And then he took and he ate up all of my

[F] home
[C] This is the worst trip,
[G] I've ever been
[C] on
REPEAT CHORUS:
