Lyrics:

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 isnt easy my baby youre sayin' today

But tell Mr. shoemaker Ill 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 youre thinkin' about
Dont just let me go

Four hundred days have passed since Ive heard from you last
Im getting worried, I admit
Maybe its nothing much
Theres nicer shores in sight
Oh I just dont know

Of all the places I laid down my head I think of two I regret
Love isnt easy my baby wed tell you today
But tell Mr. shoemaker Ill 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 youre thinkin' about
Dont just let me go

Im sayin' so long
I want my baby back
I know its hard to see
Why shes in love with me
Im sayin' so long
I want my baby back
I know its hard to see
Why shes in love with me
So long to the headstrong
I wasnt qualified to lead that city life
Thats all I have to say
