A Dear John Letter

Lyrics

[Chorus: June Stearns] Dear John Oh how I hate tonight 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 1: Red Sovine] I was overseas in battle When the postman came to me And he handed me a letter I was just as happy as I could be For the fighting was all over And the battle had been won And then I opened up your letter And it started Dear John [Chorus: June Stearns] Dear John Oh how I hate tonight 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: Red Sovine] Will your please send back my picture My husband wants it now And when I tell you who I'm wedding I know you won't care dear anyhow Now the ceremony has just started And tonight I'll wed your brother Don Will you please wish us happiness forever Dear John
