A dear John letter |

*Dear John |
| [00:10.04] |
Oh! how I hate to write |
| [00:14.44] |
Dear John |
| [00:17.91] |
I must let you know tonight |
| [00:23.90] |
That my love for you has gone |
| [00:27.78] |
There's no reason to go on |
| [00:32.36] |
And tonight I wed another |
| [00:35.94] |
Dear John* |
| [00:40.73] |
(spoken) |
| [00:42.71] |
I was overseas in battle |
| [00:45.68] |
When the postman came to me |
| [00:49.43] |
He handed me a letter |
| [00:51.34] |
And I was as happy as I could be |
| [00:54.77] |
Cause the fighting was all over |
| [00:58.29] |
And the battles they'd all be won |
| [01:02.39] |
But then I opened up that letter |
| [01:07.46] |
And it stated Dear John(*) |
| [01:07.47] |
|
| [01:14.94] |
Won’t you please sent back my picture? |
| [01:17.58] |
My husband wants it now. |
| [01:21.60] |
When I tell you who I’m wedding, |
| [01:24.92] |
you won’t care, do you, anyhow? |
| [01:28.91] |
And it hurts me so to tell you |
| [01:31.70] |
that my love for you is gone, |
| [01:34.59] |
And tonight I wed your brother, Dear John. |
