Get Up Jake Lyrics by Run Boy Run

So Sang the Whippoorwill

2013

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 all along the shore
Oh, get up Jake, it's late in the mornin'
The rain is pourin', we got work to do
Get up Jake, there's no need lyin'
You tell me that you're dyin' but I know it's not true
Crap game will take you to the cleaners
Rye whiskey to the grave
Now, River Woman, don't you come no closer
'Cause me and Jake got no time to save
Get up Jake, it's late in the mornin'
The rain is pourin', we got work to do
Get up Jake, there's no need lyin'
You tell me that you're dyin' but I know it's not true
Dirty Dan, he came up from Savannah
Carried a mean streak in his eye
Now, he and Jake, they both wanted Annabella
But I guess one man here has got to die
Get up Jake, it's late in the mornin'
The rain is pourin', we got work to do
Get up Jake, there's no need lyin'
You tell me that you're dyin' but I know it's not true
Oh, get up Jake, it's late in the mornin'
The rain is pourin', we got work to do
Get up Jake, there's no need lyin'
Annabelle's cryin' and it's all for you
