Dear John Letter Lyrics

(Billy Barton - Lewis Talley - Fuzzy Owen)
Jean Sheppard & 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 wonJean Shepard - Dear John Letter - http://motolyrics.com/jean-shepard/dear-john-letter-lyrics.html
Then I opened up the letter and it's started, dear John.

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.

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...
