The Jamestown Ferry - Tanya Tucker

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

He said that gone was all he’d ever be

I didn’t think that he’d leave me

After saying 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 about 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

He said that gone was all he’d ever be

As I walk through his kingdom

Of honkey-tonks and bars

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

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

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
