The Letter -- Box Tops

Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane  I ain't got time to take a fast train
Lonely days are gone  I'm a-going home  My baby just wrote me a letter
I don't care  how much money I gotta spend  Got to get back to my baby again
Lonely days are gone  I'm a-going home  My baby just 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-going home  My baby just wrote me a letter
Well, she wrote me a letter  Since she couldn't live   without me no more
Mister, mister  Can't you see I got to get back  to my baby once more anyway


Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane  Ain't got time to take a fast train
Lonely days are gone  I'm a-going home   My baby just wrote me a letter     (sing365.com)
