get up jake, it's late in the morning
the rain is pouring
we got work to do
get up jake, there's no need of lying
you tell me that you're dying
but i know it's not true
now me and jake we work down on the river
on the ferry baltimore
and when jake dont rise up in the morning
people line up all along the shore
get up jake, it's late in the morning
the rain is pouring
we got work to do
get up jake, there's no need of lying
you tell me that you're dying
but i know it's not true
crap game will take you to the cleaner
rye whiskey to the grave
river woman don't you come no closer
cos me and jake got no time to save
get up jake, it's late in the morning
the rain is pouring
we got work to do
get up jake, there's no need of lying
you tell me that you're dying
but i know it's not true

get up jake, it's late in the morning
the rain is pouring

get up jake, there's no need of dying
annabelle's crying
and it's all for you
