Red Sovine - Dear John Letter lyrics

rate me

[ with June Stearns ]

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 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 have 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 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
