The Letter:
Joe Cocker

Give me a ticket for an airoplane
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
my baby once more,
Anyway..etc....
