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 be.
|
|
I didn't think that he'd leave me,
|
After sayin' 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 bout to drive me crazy.
|
He was the sweetest piece of heaven I've ever known.

|
He just caught the Jamestown Ferry,

|
And he said that gone was all he'd ever be.
|
|
As I walk through his kingdom,
|
Of honky tonks and bars,
|
Well, 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,
|
He made me feel like a lady through it all.
