Get up Jake, its late in the mornin
The rain is pourin, we got work to do
Get up Jake, theres no need a lyin
You tell me that youre dyin but I know its not true
Now, me and Jake, we work down on the river
On the ferry Baltimore
And when Jake dont rise up in the mornin
People lined up all along the shore
Get up Jake, its late in the mornin
The rain is pourin, we got work to do
Get up Jake, theres no need a lyin
You tell me that youre dyin but I know its not true
Crap game will take you to the cleaners
Rye whiskey to the grave
River Woman, dont you come no closer
Cause me and Jake got no time to save, oh, oh
Get up Jake, its late in the mornin
The rain is pourin, we got work to do
Get up Jake, theres no need a lyin
You tell me that youre dyin but I know its not true
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, its late in the mornin
The rain is pourin, we got work to do
Get up Jake and no need a yin
Annabelles cryin and its all for you
