Dear John: Oh! how I hate to write.
Dear John: Oh! 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.
He handed me a letter and I was just as happy as I could be.
Cause the fighting was all over and the battles have all been won.
But then I opened up the letter and that started dear John.
Won't 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.
And it hurts me so to tell ye that my love for you has gone.
But tonight I wed your brother dear John.
And tonight I wed another dear John.
