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
