Get Up Jake lyrics

Get Up, Jake, it`s late in the mornin`
D A
the rain is pourin` and we got work to do.
Bm
Get Up, Jake, there`s no need a-lyin`,
D A
You tell me that you`re dyin`, but I know it`s not true.

A G D A
Now, me and Jake, we work down on the river,
G D A
on the ferry `Baltimore`.
G D A
And when Jake don`t rise up in the mornin`,
G D A
People lined up all along the shore.

(Chorus)

Crap game will take you to the cleaners,
Rye whiskey to the grave.
River Woman don`t you come no closer,
`Cause me and Jake got no time to save, Oh, oh,

(Chorus)

Dirty Dan he came up from Savannah,
Carried a mean streak in his eye.
Now, him and Jake both wanted Annabella,
I guess one man here has got to die.

Get Up, Jake, it`s late in the mornin`
the rain is pourin` and we got work to do.
Get Up, Jake, there`s no need a-dyin`,
Annabelle`s cryin` and it`s all for you.
