Letter (?) by The Box Tops

[blur]

Complete lyrics to "The Letter":

Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane
Aint got time time for a fast train
Lonely days are gone-I'm a-goin' home
My baby just wrote me a letter

I don't care how much money I've got to spend
I've got to get back to my baby again
Lonely days are gone-I'm a-goin' home
My baby just wrote me a letter

Well she wrote me a letter
Said she couldn't live without me no more
Listen mister can't you see
I've got to get back to my baby once more
Anyway, yeah

Here's a ticket for an aeroplane
Aint got time time to take a fast train
Lonely days are gone-I'm a-goin' home
My baby just wrote me a letter

Well she wrote me a letter
Said she couldn't live without me no more
Listen mister can't you see
I've got to get back to my baby once more
Anyway, yeah

Here's a ticket for an aeroplane
Aint got time time to take a fast train
Lonely days are gone-I'm a-goin' home
My baby just wrote me a letter
My baby just wrote me a letter

(that's it: the song is 1:50 long! Other Box Tops greats: "Cry like
a Baby" (when I think of the good love you gave me, I cry like a baby)
"Soul Deep" (my love is a river running soul deep!) The Box Tops were
great, but Big Star (their successor) and Alex Chilton (the
mastermind) was even better. Check out the Replacements' "Alex
Chilton" as an ode to that genre of music (I never travel far/Without
a little Big Star)
