Barbara Mandrell - Jamestown Ferry Lyrics

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 need



I din't think that he'd leave me after seein' how much he needs me

But the fact still remains I'm sittin' here all alone

Missin' a 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...



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...

He just caught the Jamestown Ferry...
