Dear John I Sent Your Saddle Home lyrics

(vocals by John Prine)



When I woke up this morning

There was a note upon my door

Saying " Don`t make me no coffee, Babe

Cause I won`t be back no more"



And that`s all she wrote

"Dear John", I sent your saddle home"



Now Jonah got along in the belly of a whale

Daniel in the lion`s den

I know a guy that didn`t try to get along

And he won`t get a chance again



That`s all she wrote

"Dear John", I sent your saddle home"



She didn`t forward no address

No she never said goodbye

All she said was "If you get blue

Just hang your little head and cry"



That`s all she wrote

"Dear John", I sent your saddle home"



Now my gal`s short and stubby

She`s mean as she can be

If that little old gal of mine

Ever gets a hold of me



That`s all she wrote

"Dear John", I fetched your saddle home"



Went down to the bank this morning

The cashier said with a grin

I`m sorry for you Little John

But your wife has done been in



That`s all she wrote

"Dear John", I sent your saddle home"



That`s all she wrote

"Dear John", I sent your saddle home"
