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

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 ye that my love for you has gone

but tonight i wed your brother dear john

and tonight i wed another dear john
