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 

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 

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
