Текст песни A Dear John Letter - Ferlin Husky

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
