Box Tops The Letter
The Letter by The Box Tops (also covered in a *great* version by Joe Cocker with Leon Russell and the Shelter People) 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. I don't care how much money I gotta spend, Got to get back to my baby, Lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home, 'Cause my baby wrote me a letter. 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].
