The Letter

(W.C.Thompson)



Give me a ticket for an aeroplane

Ain't got time to take a fast train

Lonely days are gone I'm a going home

My baby 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 going home

My baby wrote me a letter

Said I couldn't live without you no more.



Listen mister can't you see

I gotta get back to my baby once more

Anyway you give me a ticket for an aeroplane

I said I ain't got no time to take a fast train

Lonely days are gone and I'm a going home

My baby wrote me a letter

You know he wrote me a letter

Said he couldn't live without me no more.

I said my baby wrote me a letter

Oh Lord. my baby he wrote me a letter

I'm telling you he wrote me a letter, oh yeah

He wrote me a letter, ain't messing around

'Cause he wrote me a letter

Oh yeah, he wrote me a letter...
