The letter

The Box Tops
Música y Letra: Wayne Carson Thompson


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.

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-goin' home,
'cause my baby just a-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.

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.
