Band, The - Get Up Jake Lyrics
[Chorus:]
Get Up, Jake, it's late in the mornin'
the rain is pourin' and we got work to do.
Get Up, Jake, there's no need a-lyin',
You tell me that you're dyin', but I know it's not true.
Now, 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 up all along the shore.
[Chorus]
Crap game will take you to the cleaners,
Rye whiskey to the grave.
River Woman don't you come no closer,
[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 got to die.
Get Up, Jake, it's late in the mornin'
the rain is pourin' and we got work to do.
Get Up, Jake, there's no need a-dyin',
Annabelle's cryin' and it's all for you.

Band, The Get Up Jake Comments
when your friend jake doesn't get up in the morning
Found My Alarm Song!
how ironic I work the barge on the river too
always rated this song
This version - which is the one they put on the 2-disc To Kingdom Come collection - is the best, IMO. YMMV.
Rock of Ages is the definitive version. Richard first verse, Rick second, Lavon third. Harmonies incredible. This is good but they perfected it on Rock of Ages.
Why are none of these available on mobile devices? Sucks for me. Hope u figure that out and change that for people like me with outdated pcs using their phones or console's to surf the net (does that make me sound old? Groovy) anyway lol itd be nice to listen to them I have the outakes and obv the original and live released versions but it seems that a ver is posted I dont have I sure would love to hear it broheem.
Hi Waycup. I'll investigate how to do that. sometimes I found myself in the same situation and it sucks
