The Letter
The Box Tops
Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane
Ain’t got time to take a fast train
Lonely days are gone
I’m a-goin’ home
‘Cause my baby
Wrote me a letter
I don’t care how much money I gotta spend
Got to get to my baby again
Lonely days are gone
I’m a-goin’ home
‘Cause my baby
Wrote me a letter
Well she wrote me a letter
Said she couldn’t live without me no more
Listen mister
Can’t you see I got to get back
To my baby once more
Anyway yeah
Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane
Ain’t got time to take a fast train
Lonely days are gone
I’m a-goin’ home
‘Cause my baby

Ain’t got time to take a fast train
Lonely days are gone
I’m a-goin’ home

and
Joe Cocker for me, this is the first i've heard of the box tops.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by again, my dear Ryan!!! I was surprised to see your comment. For I haven't been able to leave one on a Blogger/Blogspot site for several hours, and I was fairly sure that it was over the entire network. I am not so sure now. For I just tryed to leave a reply through Firefox, and I got the same message that I have been seeing. So, I am trying to leave this through IE8, and if it works, just know that I really like Cocker's version, as well. Nonetheless, the orginal is not bad at all.
ReplyDeleteI was expecting to like Joe Cocker better than The Boxtops but they are equally good, if different. I was surprised to see the Boxtops were white, I always assumed they were black...go figure.
ReplyDelete(P.S. at 7:30 this morning I tried leaving a comment and blogger wasn't working!)
Jings the Box Tops version better than Joe's! That surprised me. There again you picking good choices is also a surprise....
ReplyDeleteI don't know why but I was like Grace. i expected to like Joe Cocker's version better. But in the end it was the Box Tops hands down
ReplyDeleteI think I'm having a deja vu moment. I feel like I read this post yesterday and I can recall leaving a comment that I like the Box tops better.
ReplyDeleteBlogger sure has things messed up
Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Ann!!! Yeah, you did leave a comment before, but it got zapped, along with this post. According to what I have read, they are working to restore what was taken down, which includes the comments. I'll give them a couple of days, and if they don't, I'll post all of the lost comments myself, along with a reply. I wonder if one of the techs had his girlfriend in the main control booth, and she said, "What will happen if I push this button?"
