G Em
He just caught the Jamestown Ferry it's not a hot day in January
D7 Em
Like he said it'd be if he ever left me
G C G
A case of gone was all he carried as he got on the Jamestown Ferry
C D7 G
And he said that gone was all he'd ever be
Em
I didn't think that he'd leave me after saying how much he needs me
C D7 G
But the fact still remains I'm sitting here all alone
Em
Missing loving of my baby Lord it's bout to drive me crazy
C D7 G
He was the sweetest piece of heaven I've ever known
G Em
He just caught the Jamestown Ferry it's not a hot day in January
D7 Em
Like he said it'd be if he ever left me
G C G
A case of gone was all he carried as he got on the Jamestown Ferry
C D7 G
And he said that gone was all he'd ever be
Em
As I walk through his kingdom of honky tonks and bars
C D7 G
I remember how he’d hold me and comfort me with talk
Em
He didn't cuss with every breath he had a soothing southern drawl
C D7 G
Made me feel like a lady through it all
G Em
He just caught the Jamestown Ferry it's not a hot day in January
D7 Em
Like he said it'd be if he ever left me
G C G
A case of gone was all he carried as he got on the Jamestown Ferry
C D7 G
And he said that gone was all he'd ever be
