Loading...

[verse 1: robbie robertson]
now, me and jake, we work down on the river
on the ferry “baltimore”
and when ol’ jake don’t rise up in the mornin’
there’ll be people lined up all along the shore

[chorus]
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 a+lyin’
you always tell me that you’re dyin’ but i know it’s not true

[verse 2: robbie robertson]
cr+p game will take you to the cleaners
rye whiskey to the grave
so, river woman, don’t you come no closer
’cause me and jake got no time to save, oh, oh

[chorus]
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 a+lyin’
you always tell me that you’re dyin’ but i know it’s not true

[verse 3]
now, dirty dan, he came up from savannah
he carried a mean streak in his eye
now, him and jake, they both loved annabelle, annabelle
looks like one man here is goin’ to die
[chorus]
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 a+lyin’
annabelle’s cryin’ and it’s all for you
