The Letter the BOXTOPS
(written by Wayne Carson Thompson)

Am F
Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane,
G Am
Ain't got time to take a fast train.
Am F
Lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home,
E Am
'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.
Chorus:
C G
Well, she wrote me a letter
F C G
Said she couldn't live with-out me no mo'.
C G F C
Listen mister can't you see I've got to get back
G E
To my baby once a-mo' --anyway...

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.

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...

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.
Because my baby just a-wrote me a letter.
