(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
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
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
