Dear John Letter Lyrics - Singles - Red Sovine

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 just as happy as I could be 

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

Then I opened up the letter and that 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 

And when I tell you who I'm wedding I know you won't care, dear anyhow 

Now the ceremony has just started and tonight I'll wed your brother Don 

Will you please wish us happiness forever, dear John?
