Well, she wrote me a letter, Said she couldn't live without me no more. Listen, mister, can't you see I got to get back To my baby once more--anyway... Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane, I ain't got time to take a fast train. Lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home, 'Cause my baby wrote me a letter. Transcribed by Rich Kulawiec, [email protected].
