About 'Sloop John B' (Recorded by The Beach Boys)

Sloop John B is a Bahamian folk song that dates back to the early 20th century, first transcribed by folklorist Richard Le Gallienne and later published in 1916 in The American Songbag by Carl Sandburg. The tune tells the story of a sailor’s troubled voyage and his wish to return home. Over the years, it has been recorded by many artists, most famously The Beach Boys on their 1966 album "Pet Sounds", which brought the song international recognition. With its strong melody and seafaring theme, Sloop John B has secured a lasting place in both folk tradition and popular music history.
