Lyrics

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
Well my baby she wrote me a letter
I don't care how much I've got to spend
I'm gon' find my way
My way back home again
Oh the lonely days are gone
I'm coming home
Well 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 me ravin' for my baby once more
Anyway yeah
I don't care how much I've got to spend
I'm gon' find my way
My way back home again
Oh the lonely days are gone
I'm going home
My baby wrote me a letter
Tay
Well she wrote me a letter
Said she couldn't live without me no more
Listen to me Mister
Can't you see me ravin' for my baby once more
Anyway yeah
Give me a ticket for an aeroplane
I ain't got time to take no fast train
And the lonely days are gone
I'm coming home
Well my baby she wrote me that letter
She wrote
My baby wrote me a letter
My baby
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
My baby
My baby wrote me a letter
My baby
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
Ah
My baby wrote me a letter
A letter, a letter
My baby wrote me a letter
A letter, a letter
My baby wrote me a letter
A letter, a letter
My baby wrote me a letter
Out of all the souls in there
My baby wrote me a letter
My baby
My baby wrote me a letter
My baby wrote me a letter
