Leaving On A Jet Plane

Peter, Paul and Mary All songs A–Z

The song was written and recorded by John Denver in 1966 for his debut demo recording. Originally titled "Babe I Hate to Go," Denver created several copies as Christmas gifts that year. His producer encouraged him to change the title, which was updated to "Leaving on a Jet Plane" in 1967.
