Key: B
Introduction:
A
He just caught the Jamestown Ferry,
F#m
It's not a hot day in January,
E F#m
Like he said it'd be if he ever left me.
A
A case of gone was all he carried,
D A
As he got on the Jamestown Ferry,
D E A
And he said that gone was all he'd ever be.
A
I didn't think that he'd leave me,
F#m
After sayin' how much he needs me.
D E A
But the fact still remains I'm sittin' here all alone.
A
Missin' the lovin' of my baby
F#m
Lord, it's about to drive me crazy.
D E A
He was the sweetest piece of heaven I've ever known.
Chorus
B
As I walk through his kingdom,
Of honky tonks and bars,
