"The Letter" by The Box Tops (Battlefield Vietnam Soundtrack)
VERSE 1
Give me a ticket for an aeroplane,
Ain't got time to take the fastest train
Lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home,
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.
Give me a ticket for an aeroplane,
Ain't got time to take the fastest train
Lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home,
My baby just wrote me a letter.
CHORUS
Give me a ticket for an aeroplane,
Ain't got time to take the fastest train
Lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home,
My baby just wrote me a letter.
