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 He said that gone was all he'd ever be I didn't think that he'd leave me After saying 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 about to drive me crazy He was the sweetest peice 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 He said that gone was all he'd ever be As I walk through his kingdom Of honkey-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 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
