Dear John Letter Lyrics - Ernest Tubb

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
