Give me a ticket for an aeroplane
Give me a ticket for an aeroplane
I ain't got time to take no fast train
Oh the lonely days are gone I'm coming home
My baby she wrote me a letter
I don't care how much I've got to spend
Oh I'm gonna find my way back home again
Oh my lonely days are gone I'm coming home
Yeah my baby, she wrote me a letter
She wrote me a letter
Said, "She couldn't live without no more"
Listen to me Mister
Can't you see I'm ready
For my baby once more, anyway
I don't care how much I've got to spend
I'm gonna find my way, way back home again
Lonely days are gone I'm coming home
My baby, she wrote me a letter
Well she wrote me a letter
Said, "She can't live without me no more"
Listen to me Mister
Can't you see I'm ready
For my baby once more, anyway
Give me a ticket for an aeroplane
I ain't got time, take no fast train
Oh the lonely days are gone I'm coming home
My baby she wrote me a letter
My baby wrote me a letter
My baby wrote me a letter
My baby wrote me a letter
