Give me 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 wrote me a letter
Verse 2
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
My baby just wrote me a letter
Chorus
Well she wrote me a letter
Said she couldn't live without me no more
Listen mister can't you see
I got to get back to my baby once more
Anyway
Chorus 2
It's the same as the first chorus, but moved up a half step and with no lyrics:
And then I like to end on F.
Have fun.
