Jean Shepard & Ferlin Husky — A Dear John Letter

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 Recitation: I was overseas in battle when the postman came to me And he handed me a letter, I was happy as I could be For the fighting was all over and the battle had been won Then I opened up the letter and it 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 Recitation: 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'll wed your brother Don Will you wish us happiness forever, Dear John
