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 'bout 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
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 'bout 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
