He just caught the Jamestown Ferry its not a hot day in January
Like he said itd 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 hed ever need
I didnt think that hed leave me, after seein how much he needs me
But the fact still remains, Im sittin here all alone
Missin a lovin of my baby Lord its bout to drive me crazy
He was the sweetest piece of heaven Ive ever known
He just caught the Jamestown Ferry
As I walk through his kingdom of honky tonks and bars
I remember how hed hold me and comfort me with talk
He didnt 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
He just caught the Jamestown Ferry
