Al Green
The Letter
[Verse 1]
Give me a ticket for an airplane
Ain't got time to take a fast train
Lonely days are gone
And I'm going home
My baby done wrote me a letter
Looka here now, I gotta say
I don't care how much money I got to spend
Gotta get back, get on back to my baby one more 'gain
Lonely days are gone
I'm going home
Ha, my baby done wrote me something on a piece of paper, yeah

[Bridge]
She wrote me a letter
Said she couldn't live without me no more
Oh, oh oh oh
Listen, mister, can't you see
I got to get back to my baby once more
Aah, oh

[Verse 2]
Gotta have a ticket for an airplane, no, no
I gotta, gotta get back and see my baby again, no no no
Lonely days are gone
And I'm going home
My baby done wrote me a letter
[Bridge]
When she wrote me a letter
Said she couldn't live, she couldn't live without me no more
Without me no more, without me no more, oh oh oh
Listen, mister, listen, mister
I gotta get back to my baby once more
Ah, ah, come on

[Outro]
Gotta have a ticket to an airplane, ha
I gotta get back to my baby, baby
Lonely days are gone
And I'm going home
My baby done wrote me a letter
Hey hey hey, lonely days are gone
And I'm, I'm, I'm...
