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 honkeytonks 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
