They’re tuning those twin Texas fiddles it will soon be hold me time
I’m in such an easy mood It’s close to four for time
All alone at a table for two just me and the candle light
Shuffle with me Houston stranger… it’s a cowboy lovin’ night

My last good time was in Dallas… we danced every song
we promised each other forever… forever didn’t last that long
Faded Love is playing… it could be the time is right
shuffle with me Houston stranger… it’s a cowboy lovin’ night

It’s been so long since Dallas… many lonely nights have come and gone
We may not last but a dance a two, but it might last all night long
Faded Love is playing… it could be the time is right
shuffle with me Houston stranger… it’s a cowboy lovin’ night

Fiddle Solo

Ooh, Faded Love is playing… it could be the time is right
shuffle with me Houston stranger… it’s a cowboy lovin’ night

Capo 1

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 about to drive me crazy.
He was the sweetest piece of heaven I’ve ever known.

Chorus

Up 1/2 step to B

As I walk through his kingdom,
Of honky tonks and bars,
Well, 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,
He 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.
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.
