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 need 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 honky-tonks and bars
I remember how she'd hold me
And comfort me with songs
She didn't cuss with every breath
She had a soothin' southern drawl
Made me feel like a man through it all
Ooh, boy, 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
