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

'Cause my baby just a-wrote me a letter
