Lyrics: The Letter

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.

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.
