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 need

i didn't think that he'd leave me after seein' how much he needs me

but the fact still remains i'm sittin' here all alone

missin' a 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 need

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 need
