Capo 3

        G
He just caught the Jamestown Ferry
           Em 
It's not a hot day in January
        D            Em
Like he said it'd be if he ever left me
          G
A case of gone was all he carried
      C                    G
As he got on the Jamestown Ferry
       C                  D             G
And he said that gone was all he'd ever be


         G 
I didn't think that he'd leave me
      Em
After sayin' how much he needs me
        C            D                           G
But the fact still remains I'm sittin' here all alone
            G
Missin' the lovin' of my baby
            Em
Lord, it's about to drive me crazy
           C                 D                G
He was the sweetest piece of heaven I've ever known

Chorus 

Up ½ step to G#

As I walk through his kingdom
Of honky tonks and bars
Well, 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
He made me feel like a lady through it all

Chorus

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,
And he said that gone was all he'd ever be.
