Dear John Letter lyrics

Song information

Artist: Jean Shepard
Album: The Best Of Jean Shepard

Lyrics

[ duet with ferlin husky ]
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 and 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 it's started dear john
Dear john oh how I hate to write..

Will 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
Now the ceremony has started and I wed your brother don
Would you wishes happiness forever dear john
