Capo 1
He just [A]caught the Jamestown Ferry,
It's not a [F#m]hot day in January,
Like he [E]said it'd be [F#m]if he ever left me.
A case of [A]gone was all he carried,
As he [D]got on the Jamestown [A]Ferry,
And he [D]said that gone was [E]all he'd ever [A]be.
I didn't [A]think that he'd leave me,
After [F#m]sayin' how much he needs me.
But the [D]fact still re[E]mains I'm sittin' here all a[A]lone.
Missin' the [A]lovin' of my baby
Lord, it's a[F#m]bout to drive me crazy.
He was the [D]sweetest piece of [E]heaven I've ever [A]known.
Chorus
[a]Up 1/2 step to B
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.
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.

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.
