Get up, jake, its late in the mornin

Bm
Get up, jake, theres no need a-lyin,

You tell me that youre dyin, but I know its 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 dont 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 dont 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, its late in the mornin
The rain is pourin and we got work to do.
Get up, jake, theres no need a-dyin,
Annabelles cryin and its all for you.
