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 honky tonks 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
