This morning i received air mail letter 3 from my connection overseas.
I pulled the paper back,
You begin your attack and it means:


Of all the places i laid down my head,
I think of two i regret

Love isn't easy my baby you're sayin today

But tell mr. shoemaker i'll be away

On a rocket or a comet or the dock of the bay
On a continental steam ship sailin away
On a one way ticket on a 1st class airplane

I wanna know what you're thinkin about
Don't just let me go...


Four hundred days have passed since i've heard from you last
I'm getting worried, i admit
Maybe it's nothing much

There's nicer shores in sight
Oh i just don't know


Of all the places i laid down my head i think of two i regret
Love isn't easy my baby we'd tell you today
But tell mr. shoemaker i'll be away

On a rocket or a comet or the dock of the bay
On a continental steam ship sailin away
On a one way ticket on a 1st class airplane

I wanna know what you're thinkin about
Don't just let me go...


I'm sayin so long
I want my baby back
I know it's hard to see

Why she's in love with me
I'm sayin so long
I want my baby back

I know it's hard to see
Why she's in love with me
So long to the headstrong

I wasn't qualified to lead that city life
That's all i have to say
