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.
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.
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!
