The Letter
Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane
Ain't got time to take a fast train
All those lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home
My baby, just-a wrote me a letter
I don't care how much money I gotta spend
Got to get back to see my baby once again
All those lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home
My baby, he wrote me a letter
Well, he wrote me a letter
Saying how he couldn't live without me no more
All thos0e lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home
To my baby once-a more
Anyway, yeah!
Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane
Got to get back to see my baby once again
All those lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home
My baby, he wrote me a letter
Well, he wrote me a letter
Saying how he couldn't live without me no more
All these lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home
To see my baby once-a more
Anyway, yeah!
Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane
Got to get back to see my baby once again
All those lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home
My baby, he wrote me a letter
My baby, wrote me a letter, ....
Song info :
Cover from the Box Tops song from 1967 with which they scored a worldwide hit. "The Letter" has been covered by just about every self respecting band.
Texas performed their own version from this song at some concerts of their 1994 tour, at a French radio show for RTL in the same year and a magnificent version on the French Taratata show in 1997 together with Zucchero, the Italian megastar.
