Dear John Letter lyrics

(Billy Barton - Lewis Talley - Fuzzy Owen)
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
