FDm
He just caught the Jamestown Ferry it's not a hot day in January
C7Dm
Like he said it'd be if he ever left me
FBbFA case of gone was all he carried as he got on the Jamestown Ferry
BbC7F
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
BbC7F
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
BbC7F
He was the sweetest piece of heaven I've ever known
FDm
He just caught the Jamestown Ferry it's not a hot day in January
C7Dm
Like he said it'd be if he ever left me
FBbFA case of gone was all he carried as he got on the Jamestown Ferry
BbC7F
And he said that gone was all he'd ever be
Dm
As I walk through his kingdom of honky tonks and bars
BbC7F
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
BbC7F
Made me feel like a lady through it all
FDm
He just caught the Jamestown Ferry it's not a hot day in January
C7Dm
Like he said it'd be if he ever left me
FBbFA case of gone was all he carried as he got on the Jamestown Ferry
BbC7F
And he said that gone was all he'd ever be
