(Billy Barton - Lewis Talley - Fuzzy Owen)
|
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 mail called up to me
|
And they handed me a letter why I was happy as could be
|
For the fighting was all over and the battle had been won
|
Then I opened up the letter and that started Dear John
|
Dear John oh how I hate to write...
|
|
Will you please send back my picture my husband wants it now
|
And when I tell you who I'm marrying well you won't care dear anyhow
|
Now the ceremony has started and I'll wed your brother Don
|
Will you wish us happiness forever dear John
|
And tonight I wed another dear John
|
