The Jamestown Ferry

He just caught the Jamestown ferry, it's not a hot day in January Like he said it'd be if he ever left me A case of gone was all he carried as he got on the Jamestown ferry And he said that gone was all he'd ever be I didn't think that he'd leave me after sayin' how much he needs me But the fact still remains, I'm sittin' here all alone Missin' the lovin' of my baby, Lord, it's 'bout to drive me crazy He was the sweetest piece of heaven I've ever known He just caught the Jamestown ferry, it's not a hot day in January Like he said it'd be if he ever left me A case of gone was all he carried as he got on the Jamestown ferry And he said that gone was all he'd ever be As I walk through his kingdom of honky tonks and bars I remember how he'd hold me and comfort me with talk He didn't cuss with every breath he had a soothing Southern drawl Made me feel like a lady through it all He just caught the Jamestown ferry, it's not a hot day in January Like he said it'd be if he ever left me A case of gone was all he carried as he got on the Jamestown ferry And he said that gone was all he'd ever be He just caught the Jamestown ferry, it's not a hot day in January Like he said it'd be if he ever left me
