two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER   

Sides face grand square
*We came on the sloop John B., grandfather and me
Around Nassau town we used to roam
, (reverse)
Drinking all night, got into a fight
I feel so broke up, I just want to go home
, allemande left
Weave around the trail, hoist up the John B. sail
Call for the captain ashore, I want to go home
Dosado, promenade that girl you know
Well I feel so broke up, I just want to go home

ALTERNATE LYRICS

*The first mate he got drunk, broke in the captain's bunk
The constable had to come and take him away
Sheriff John Stone, leave me alone
Cause I feel so broke up, I just want to go home


*The poor cook, he got fits, threw away all my grits
Then he took and ate, all of my corn
Let me go home, why don't they let me go home
I feel so broke up, I just want to go home


FIGURE   

Head gents and corner girl (Side gents and corner girl) swing and you whirl, face the middle of the world
Right & left thru across the ring you go (the others)
Pass thru around one, in to the middle and then
Star thru, same girl California twirl (lead to the right)
Circle four in time, break to a diagonal line, go
Eight to the middle and come on back you know, forward
Dosado, keep your own and promenade home
I feel so broke up, I just want to go home
