The Letter

The Box Tops

Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane

Ain't got time to take a fast train

Lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home

My baby, just-a wrote me a letter

I don't care how much money I gotta spend

Got to get back to baby again

Lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home

My baby, just-a 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-a more

  Anyway, yeah!
