Joe Cocker – The Letter lyrics
Give me a ticket for an airoplane
I ain't got time to take no fast train
Oh, the lonely days are gone
I'll be right home
My baby she wrote me a letter

I don't care how much money I got to spend
I won't find my way home again
Oh the lonely days are gone
I'll be right home
My baby, she wrote me a letter

She wrote me a letter
Said she couldn't live with out me no more
Listen to me mister don't you ever xxxx
My baby once more
Anyway

Give me a ticket for an airoplane
I ain't got time to take no fast train
Oh, the lonely days are gone
I'll be back home
My baby she wrote me a letter

Solo

She wrote me a letter
Said she couldn't live with out me no more
Listen to me mister don't you ever xxxx
My baby once more
Anyway

Give me a ticket for an airoplane
I ain't got time to take no fast train
Oh, the lonely days are gone
I'll be back home
My baby she wrote me a letter

My baby wrote me a letter
My baby wrote me a letter
My baby wrote me a letter
