GET UP JAKE THE BAND
Chorus
A Bm
Get up Jake, it's late in the mornin'
D A E D
Rain is pourin', we got work to do
A Bm
Get up Jake, there's no need a-lyin'
D A
You tell me that your dyin' but I know it's not true
A G D A
Now me and Jake we were down on the river
A G D
On the ferry Baltimore
A G D A
And when Jake don't rise up in the mornin'
A G D A
People lined up all along the shore
Chorus
Crap game will take you to the cleaners
Rye whisky - to the grave
River woman don't you come no closer
Cos me and Jake got no time to save oh
Chorus
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 to die
Get up Jake, it's late in the mornin'
Rain is pourin', we got work to do
Get up Jake, there's no need a-dyin'
Annabel's cryin' and it's all for you
