She just caught the Jamestown FerryIt's not a hot day in JanuaryLike she said it'd be if she ever left meA case of gone was all she carriedAs she got on the Jamestown FerryAnd she said that gone was all she'd ever beI didn't think that she'd leave meAfter sayin' how much she need meBut the fact still remainsI'm sittin' here all aloneMissin' the lovin' of my babyLord, it's about to drive me crazyShe was the sweetest piece of heaven I've ever knownShe just caught the Jamestown FerryIt's not a hot day in JanuaryLike she said it'd be if she ever left meA case of gone was all she carriedAs she got on the Jamestown FerryAnd she said that gone was all she'd ever beAs I walk through that valleyOf honky-tonks and barsI remember how she'd hold meAnd comfort me with songsShe didn't cuss with every breathShe had a soothin' southern drawlMade me feel like a man through it allOoh, boy, she just caught the Jamestown FerryIt's not a hot day in JanuaryLike she said it'd be if she ever left me
