F                                       Dm 
He just caught the Jamestown Ferry it's not a hot day in January 
 
        C7           Dm 
Like he said it'd be if he ever left me 
 
          F                             A#                    F 
A case of gone was all he carried as he got on the Jamestown Ferry 
 
       A#                  C7            F 
And he said that gone was all he'd ever be 
 
                                        Dm 
I didn't think that he'd leave me after saying how much he needs me 
 
    A#              C7                           F 
But the fact still remains I'm sitting here all alone 
 
                                    Dm 
Missing loving of my baby Lord it's bout to drive me crazy 
 
           A#                 C7               F 
He was the sweetest piece of heaven I've ever known 
 
F                                       Dm 
He just caught the Jamestown Ferry it's not a hot day in January 
 
        C7           Dm 
Like he said it'd be if he ever left me 
 
          F                             A#                    F 
A case of gone was all he carried as he got on the Jamestown Ferry 
 
       A#                  C7            F 
And he said that gone was all he'd ever be 
 
                                 Dm 
As I walk through his kingdom of honky tonks and bars 
 
  A#                 C7                          F 
I remember how he’d hold me and comfort me with talk 
 
                                          Dm 
He didn't cuss with every breath he had a soothing southern drawl 
 
        A#           C7              F 
Made me feel like a lady through it all 
 
F                                       Dm 
He just caught the Jamestown Ferry it's not a hot day in January 
 
        C7           Dm 
Like he said it'd be if he ever left me 
 
          F                             A#                    F 
A case of gone was all he carried as he got on the Jamestown Ferry 
 
       A#                  C7            F 
And he said that gone was all he'd ever be
