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 din'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... 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... He just caught the Jamestown Ferry...
