Ernest Tubb Dear John Letter Lyrics

Dear John Letter Lyrics

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 mail called up to me

And they handed me a letter

Why I was happy as could be



For the fighting was all over

And the battle had been won

Then I opened up the letter

And that started Dear John



Dear John, oh, how I hate to write



Will you please send back my picture

My husband wants it now

And when I tell you who I'm marrying

Well, 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

And tonight I wed another dear John
