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 seeing how much she needs me

But the fact still remains I'm sittin' here all alone

Missin' lovin' of my lady Lord it's bout to drive me crazy

She was the sweetest piece of heaven I've ever known

But he just caught the Jamestown Ferry...

[ guitar ]

As I walk through my kingdom of honky tonks and bars

And I remember every moment it can comfort me with talk

She didn't cuss with every breath she had a soothing Southern drawl

And her hair onto the pockets on her jeans

But he just caught the Jamestown Ferry...
