Lyrics

Give me a ticket for an aeroplane

I ain't got time to take no fast train

Oh, lonely days are gone, I'm coming home

Oh, my baby, she wrote me a letter

I don't care how much I gotta spend

Oh, I wanna find my way back home again

Oh, my lonely days are gone, I'm coming home

My baby, she wrote me a letter

Well, she wrote me a letter

Said she couldn't live without me no more

Listen to me, mister, can't you see the reason?

My baby once more

Anyway

I don't care how much I gotta spend

I will find my way oh, way back home again

My lonely days are gone, I'm coming home

My baby, she wrote me a letter

Well, she wrote me a letter

Said she couldn't live without me no more

Listen to me, mister, don't you see the reason?

My baby once more

Anyway

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

My baby (my baby wrote me a letter) wrote me now

(My baby wrote me a letter)

(My baby wrote me a letter)

(My baby wrote me a letter)

My (my baby wrote me a letter), my baby wrote!

(My baby wrote me a letter) wrote me a letter

(My baby wrote me a letter) wrote me a letter

(My baby wrote me a letter) oh my baby!

(My baby wrote me a letter) oh!

(My baby wrote me a letter)

(My baby wrote me a letter)

(My baby wrote me a letter)

(My baby wrote me a letter)

(My baby wrote me a letter)

(My baby wrote me a letter)

Oh man, people love it, have a go
