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 need, i didn't think that he'd leave me after seein' how much he needs me, but the fact still remains i'm sittin' here all alone, missin' a 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, 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 need, 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 soothing southern drawl, made me feel like a lady through it all, 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 need,
