Lyrics
Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane,
Expressing a desire for a plane ticket
Ain't got time to take a fast train.
Unable to spare time for a quick train journey
Lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home,
Feeling relieved as lonely days are over, heading home
My baby wrote me a letter.
Happy about receiving a letter from the speaker's baby
I don't care how much money I gotta spend,
Willing to spend any amount to reunite with the baby
Got to get back to my baby
Determined to return to the baby
Lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home,
Reiterating the end of lonely days, anticipating going home
My baby wrote me a letter.
Expressing joy over the baby's letter
Well, she wrote me a letter
The baby wrote a letter expressing inability to live without the speaker
Said she couldn't live without me no mo'.
Highlighting the baby's desperation, not being able to live without the speaker
Listen mister can't you see I got to get back
Requesting understanding, a plea to return to the baby
To my baby once a-mo'--anyway... yeah
Expressing determination to return to the baby, emphasizing the urgency
Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane,
Repeating the desire for an aeroplane ticket
Ain't got time to take a fast train.
Reiterating the lack of time for a fast train
Lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home,
Emphasizing the end of lonely days, the imminent return home
My baby wrote me a letter.
Rejoicing in the receipt of another letter from the baby
Well, she wrote me a letter
Repeating the baby's letter about not being able to live without the speaker
Said she couldn't live without me no mo'.
Reiterating the baby's desperation and the necessity to return
Listen mister can't you see I got to get back
Asking for understanding and highlighting the urgency to return
To my baby once a-mo'--anyway... yeah
Reaffirming the determination to return to the baby
Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane,
Expressing the desire for another aeroplane ticket
Ain't got time to take a fast train.
Stressing the lack of time for a fast train journey
Lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home,
Reiterating the end of loneliness, excited about going home
My baby wrote me a letter
Delighted to receive yet another letter from the baby
My baby wrote me a letter
Reaffirming the joy of receiving a letter from the baby
