The Letter – Maggie Rose (originally by The Box Tops)

Gimme a ticket for an airplane
I ain’t got time to take a fast train
All the lonely days are gone, I’m a-goin’ home
Oh, my baby, just-a wrote me a letter

I don’t care how much money I got to spend
Won’t find my way, my way back home again
All the lonely days are gone and I’m comin’ home
Yeah, my baby, she wrote me a letter

She wrote me a letter
Said that she couldn’t live without me no more
But listen to me mister, don’t you drop the letter
For my baby once more
Anyway!

I don’t count how much money I gotta spend
Gonna find my way, my way back home again
All the lonely days are gone, I’m comin’ home
Yeah, my baby, she wrote me a letter

She wrote me a letter
Said that she couldn’t live without me no more
But listen to me mister, don’t drop the letter
For my baby once more
Anyway!

Give me a ticket for an airplane
Ain’t got no time to take no fast train
All the lonely days are gone, I’m comin’ home
Oh, my baby, she wrote me the letter

My baby wrote me the letter
My baby wrote me the letter
My baby wrote me the letter
