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
