Lyrics

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 din'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' 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 soothin' southern drawl
Made me feel like a lady through it all
He just caught the jamestown ferry..
He just caught the jamestown ferry..
