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 as happy as I could be
Cause the fighting was all over
And the battles had all been won
But then I opened up that letter
And it 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, do you anyway?
And it hurts me so to tell you that my love for you has gone
But tonight I wed you brother, Dear John
