Il testo della Dear john letter

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 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
