F#
She just caught the Jamestown Ferry
           D#m
It's not a hot day in January
          B           C#                D#m
Like she said it'd be if she ever left me

          F#
A case of gone is all she carried
       D#m
As she got on the Jamestown Ferry
        B                 C#              F#
And she said that gone is all she'd ever be


[Verse]
         F#
I didn't think that she'd leave me
       D#m
After saying how much she needs me
         B                      C#
But the fact still remains I'm sitting 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#
It's not a hot day in January
         B            C#                D#
Like she said it'd be if she ever left me

          F#
A case of gone is all she carried
       D#m
As she got on the Jamestown Ferry
        B                  C#              F#
And she said that gone was all she'd ever be


[Verse]
     F#
As I walk through that valley
   D#m
of honky-tonks and bars
    B                            C#
I remember how she'd hold me and comfort me with talk
           F#
She didn't cuss with every breath
           D#
She had a soothing southern drawl
        B           C#              F#
Made me feel like a man through it all


[Chorus]
         F#
She just caught the Jamestown Ferry
            D#
It's not a hot day in January
          B           C#                D#m
Like she said it'd be if she ever left me
