Jamestown Ferry

(álbum: The Midnight Oil - 1973)

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 didn't think that he'd leave me after seeing how much he needs me
But the fact still remains I'm sitting here all alone
Missing a loving 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 need

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 need
