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...
