[ duet with Ferlin Husky ]
|
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
|
And he handed me a letter and I was just as happy as I could be
|
For the fighting was all over and the battle have been won
|
Then I opened up the letter and it's started dear John
|
Dear John oh how I hate to write...
|
|
Will 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
|
Now the ceremony has started and I wed your brother Don
|
Would you wishes happiness forever dear John
|
