Give me a ticket for an aeroplane
I ain't got time to take a slow train
Lonely days are gone I'm a coming home
My baby she wrote me a letter

Now I don't care how much money I've got to spend
I got to get back to my baby once again
Lonely days are gone I'm a coming home
My baby she wrote me a letter

She wrote me a letter said she couldn't live without me no more
Listen Mister can't you see I've got to get back to my baby once more

Anyway I said
Give me a ticket for an aeroplane
I ain't got time to take a bad train
Lonely days are gone I'm a coming home
My baby she wrote me a letter

She wrote me a letter said she couldn't live...

Anyway I said
I don't care how much money I've got to spend...

Anyway give me a ticket for an aeroplane

Lonely days are gone I'm a coming home
My baby she wrote me a letter
My baby she wrote me a letter
My baby she wrote me a letter
My woman she wrote me a letter
