Dick Dale sings Sloop John B.

I think this version is better than his other one, with the violins. Dick changed the lyrics a bit, compared to the Beach Boys version:

"I sailed on the sloop John B.

My grandfather and me

Around Nassau town we did roam

Drinking all night

Got into a fight

Well I feel so break up

I want to go home

So hoist up the John B's sails

See how the main sail sets

I called for the captain ashore

Let me go home

I wanna go home

Please let me go home

Well I feel so break up

I wanna go home

The first mate he got drunk

And broke in the captain's trunk

The constable had to call men and take him away

Sheriff John Stone

Why don't you leave me alone

Well now I feel so break up I wanna go home

So hoist up the John B's sails

See how the main sail sets

I called for the captain ashore

Let me go home

I wanna go home

Please let me go home

Well now this is the worst trip

Since I've been gone

This is the worst trip

Since I've been gone

This is the worst trip

Since I've been gone..."

I think this version is from the album "Dick Dale's Greatest Hits" released in the '70s on GNP Crescendo, all new recordings produced by Dick and KRTH oldies DJ and surf music fanatic Jim Pewter. BTW when Jimi Hendrix was guitarist for Little Richard in about '62, Richards' manager/producer Bumps Blackwell took Jimi to the Rendevous club to meet Dick!

"And broke in the captain's trunk" translates to German like "threw up in the cpt's trunk", how very fitting!

Wicked version, I love it! It was originally a traditional West Indies folk song, "The John B. Sails," taken from a collection by Carl Sandburg (1927). Alan Lomax made a field recording of the song in Nassau, 1935, under the title "Histe Up the John B. Sail." This recording appears on the album Bahamas 1935: Chanteys And Anthems From Andros And Cat Island.

@ThePitChannel ~ With all due respect, you are reading waaaay too much into my post. I am one of the estimated 7% of the world's population who are left-handed so I am quite proud of both Dale and Hendrix. I was 15 when I bought my first Dick Dale 45 RPM record in 1962 (Surf Beat) and was so excited that there was a significant left-handed gutiar player. By the time Hendrix came along ('67-'68) people were beginning to realize that lefties could really do it too! They are equals in MY eyes.

@MrRonnieG Although what you mentioned is true and well known, please keep in mind that this isn't a bash Hendrix or bash surf music thread. I didn't put up this song to emphesize who was the first left-handed guitarist or who invented the surf sub-genre.

Dick didn't do vocals on many of his hits, rather, as a rule, he'd let that Fender Stratocaster, Fender Amp and Lansing speakers do his talking. This man was the King of Surf Gutiars waaaaaaaay before anyone ever thought about such a genre. Jimi Hendrix became a left-handed legend but Dick Dale was blowing people away, playing from the left side of the strings, years and years before Jimi was anybody.
