Tanya Tucker "The Jamestown Ferry"

From the album Tanya Tucker - "Delta Dawn" 1972

[Lyrics to "The Jamestown Ferry"]

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 'bout to drive me crazy

He was the sweetest piece of heaven I've ever known

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

As I walk through his kingdom of honky tonks and bars

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

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

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
