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
