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 lyin'

You tell me that you're dyin' but I know it's not true

Now me and Jake we work down on the river

On the ferry Baltimore

And when Jake don't rise up in the mornin'

People lined up all along the shore

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

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
