Justin Tubb - John Mason Whitney III lyrics

rate me

(Justin Tubb)

I was stationed in San Diego

So homesick and alone

So one day I went down to a bookstore in town

And I bought a paper from home.

Took it back to the base to read it

And it suddenly felt like lead

'Cause halfway through I saw a picture of you

And by your picture it said.

Mr. and Mrs. Harrison Carter

Are pleased to pass the word

Of the forthcoming marriage of their daughter Judy

To John Mason Whitney III.

So I put in for a furlough

I just had to get home in time

Why I couldn't let this John steal away the one

The one that's supposed to be mine.

But my thumb just couldn't get me here

Quite fast enough somehow

If it could have don't you see I probably wouldn't be

Reading what I'm reading now.

Mr. and Mrs. Harrison Carter

Are pleased to pass the word

Of the recent marriage of their daughter Judy

To John Mason Whitney III.

John Mason Whitney III...
