A Dear John Letter

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Skeeter Davis] 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 [Verse 2: Bobby Bare] 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 [Verse 3: Bobby Bare] 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 [Outro: Skeeter Davis] And tonight I wed another dear John
