Lyric The Jamestown Ferry
(Robert Borchers/Mack Vickery)
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 didn 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 the 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 be.
As I walk through his kingdom,
Of honky tonks and bars,
Well, 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,
He 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 be.
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.
