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
|
[ Skeeter ]
|
And tonight I wed another dear John
