Capo 2
Intro chords:
A B C#m
Chorus:
E C#m
She just caught the Jamestown Ferry, it's not a hot day in January
A B C#m
Like she said it'd be, if she ever left me
E C#m
A case of gone was all she carried as she got on the Jamestown Ferry
A B E
And she said that gone was all she'd ever be
E C#m
I didn't think that she'd leave me after sayin' how much she needs me
A B
But the fact still remains I'm sittin' here all alone
E C#m
Missin' the lovin' of my baby, Lord, it's about to drive me crazy
A B E
She was the sweetest piece of heaven I've ever known
Chorus
Steel solo
As I walk through that valley of honky tonks and bars
I remember how she'd hold me and comfort me with talk
She didn't cuss with every breath, she had a soothing southern drawl
Made me feel like a man through it all
Chorus
Outro:
She just caught the Jamestown Ferry
It's not a hot day in January
Like she said it'd be
If she ever left me
