A Dear John Letter (feat. Ferlin Husky)

A Dear John Letter -Skeeter Davis

Dear John oh how I hate to write

Dear John I must let you know tonight

That my love for you has died

And when I grasp it won't be long

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 as happy as I could be

Cause the fighting was all over

And the battles they'd all be won

But then I opened up that 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

And when I grasp it won't be long

And tonight I wed another dear John

Would 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

Please wish us happiness forever dear John
