Dear John
Oh, how I hate to write
Dear John
I must let you know tonight
That my love for you has died
The way like grass upon the lawn
And tonight I wed another
Dear John
Dear John
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 it started
Dear John
Dear John
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
And tonight I wed another, dear John
