the above lyrics are right for the most part, however, i've made a few corrections.

This morning I received Air mail letter three From my connection overseas I pulled the paper back, You begin your attack and it reads:

Of all the places I laid down my head I think of two I regret Love isn't easy, my baby, you're saying today

But tell Mr. Shoemaker I'll be away On a rocket or a comet or the dock at the bay On a continental steamship, sailing away On a one way ticket on a first class airplane I wanna know what you're thinking about Don't just let me go, woah

Four hundred days have passed Since I 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 say it today

But tell Mr. Shoemaker I'll be away On a rocket or a comet or the dock at the bay On a continental steamship, sailing away On a one way ticket on a first class airplane I wanna know what you're thinking about Don't just let me go, woah

I'm saying "so long, "I want my baby back" I know it's hard to see Why she's in love with me, yeah

I'm saying "so long, "I want my baby back" I know it's hard to see Why she's in love with me, yeah

So long to the headstrong I wasn't qualified To live that city life That's all I have to say
