[Chorus]
F#
She just caught the Jamestown Ferry
D#m
It's not a hot day in January
B
Like she said it'd be
C# D#m
If she ever left me
F#
A case of gone was all she carried
D#m
As she got on the Jamestown Ferry
B
And she said that gone
C# F#
was all she'd ever be
[Verse 1]
F#
I didn't think that she'd leave me
D#m
After sayin' how much she need me
B
But the fact still remains
C#
I'm sittin' here all alone
F#
Missin' the lovin' of my baby
D#m
Lord, it's about to drive me crazy
B C# F#
She was the sweetest piece of heaven I've ever known
[Chorus]
F#
She just caught the Jamestown Ferry
D#m
It's not a hot day in January
B
Like she said it'd be
C# D#m
If she ever left me
F#
A case of gone was all she carried
D#m
As she got on the Jamestown Ferry
B
And she said that gone
C# F#
was all she'd ever be
[Verse 2]
F#
As I walk through that valley
D#m
Of honky tonks and bars
B
I remember how she'd hold me
C#
And comfort me with talk
F#
She didn't cuss with every breath
D#m
She had a soothing southern drawl
B C# F#
Made me feel like a man through it all
[Outro]
F#
She just caught the Jamestown Ferry
D#m
It's not a hot day in January
B
Like she said it'd be
C# D#m
If she ever left me
