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 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
