Dear John Letter |
Dear John, oh how I hate to write |
Dear John, I must let you know tonight |
That my love for you has died away like grass upon the lawn |
And tonight I wed another, dear John. |
(Bobby) |
I was overseas in battle when the postman came to me He handed me a letter and I was just as happy as I could be Cause the fighting was all over and the battles have all been won |
But then I opened up the letter and that started, dear John |
Won’t you please send back my picture my husband wants it now |
When I tell you who I’m wedding you won’t care dear anyhow |
And it hurts me so to tell you that my love for you has gone |
But tonight I wed your brother, dear John. |
(Skeeter) |
And tonight I wed another, dear John. |
