The Letter

(Album: Feelin' Good - 1968)

Gimme 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
Lonely days are gone, I'm a-going home,
My baby 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... yeah

Gimme 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.

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... yeah

Gimme 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
My baby wrote me a letter
