The Box Tops - The Letter
Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane
Ain't got time to take a fast train.
Lonely days are gone, I''m a-goin'' home,
''Cause my baby wrote me a letter.
I don''t care how much money I gotta spend,
Got to get back to my baby,
Lonely days are gone, I''m a-goin'' home,
''Cause my baby wrote me a letter.
Well, she wrote me a letter,
Said she couldn''t live without me no more.
Listen, mister, can''t you see I got to get back
To my baby once more--anyway...
Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane,
I ain''t got time to take a fast train.
Lonely days are gone, I''m a-goin'' home,
''Cause my baby wrote me a letter.
Well, she wrote me a letter
Said she couldn't live without me no mo'.
Listen mister can't you see I got to get back
To my baby once a-mo'--anyway...
Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane,
Ain't got time to take a fast train.
Lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home,
'Cause my baby just a-wrote me a letter.
Because my baby just a-wrote me a letter
