***CHORDS***
 
[Chorus 1]
A                  Bm
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.
 
[Verse 1]
A           G        D                A
Now, me and Jake, we work down on the river,
       G      D
on the ferry "Baltimore".
    A    G          D              A
And when Jake don't rise up in the mornin',
       G             D
People lined up all along the shore.
 
[Chorus 1]
A                  Bm
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.
 
[Verse 2]
     G         D               A
Crap game will take you to the cleaners,
    G              D           A
Rye whiskey to the grave.
      G     D                         A
River Woman don't you come no closer,
              G           D
'Cause me and Jake got no time to save, Oh, oh,
 
[Chorus 1]
A                  Bm
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.
 
[Verse 3]
      G      D               A
Dirty Dan he came up from Savannah,
          G           D              A
Carried a mean streak in his eye.
             G         D           A
Now, him and Jake both wanted Annabella,
            G            D
I guess one man here has got to die.
 
[Chorus 2]
A                  Bm
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-dyin',
D                           A
Annabelle's cryin' and it's all for you.
