Jamestown Ferry

She just caught the Jamestown Ferry

It's not a hot day in January

Like she said it'd be if she ever left me

A case of gone was all she carried

As she got on the Jamestown Ferry

And she said that gone was all she'd ever be

I didn't think that she'd leave me

After sayin' how much she 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

She was the sweetest piece of Heaven I've ever known

She just caught the Jamestown Ferry

It's not a hot day in January

Like she said it'd be if she ever left me

A case of gone was all she carried

As she got on the Jamestown Ferry

And she said that gone was all she'd ever be

As I walk through that valley

Of honkytonks and bars

I remember how she'd hold me

And comfort me with talk

She didn't cuss with every breath

She had a soothing southern drawl

Made me feel like a man through it all

She just caught the Jamestown Ferry

It's not a hot day in January

Like she said it'd be if she ever left me
