A DEAR JOHN LETTER

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 as happy as I could be

For the fighting was all over and the battle had been won

Then I opened up the letter and it started "Dear John..."

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'll wed your brother, Don

Will you wish us happiness forever, Dear John
