Bobby Bare - A Dear John Letter lyrics

rate me

[ Skeeter ]<br />

Dear John oh how I hate to write dear John I must let you know tonight<br />

That my love for you has died away like grass upon the lawn<br />

And tonight I wed another dear John<br />

[ Bobby ]<br />

I was overseas in battle when the postman came to me<br />

He handed me a letter and I was just as happy as I could be<br />

Cause the fighting was all over and the battles have all been won<br />

But then I opened up the letter and that started dear John<br />

Won't you please send back my picture my husband wants it now<br />

When I tell you who I'm wedding you won't care dear anyhow<br />

And it hurts me so to tell ye that my love for you has gone<br />

But tonight I wed your brother dear John<br />

[ Skeeter ]<br />

And tonight I wed another dear John
