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.
I didn't think that he'd leave me,
After sayin' how much he needs me.
But the fact still remains I'm sittin' here all alone.
Missin' the lovin' of my baby
Lord, it's about to drive me crazy.
He was the sweetest piece of heaven I've ever known.
Chorus
As I walk through his kingdom,
Of honky tonks and bars,
