Bobby Bare Lyrics for Song: Dear John Letter
 Lyrics for Album: This Is Bobby Bare [RCA Victor] [1972]
 
 
 
 33417>(Lewis Talley - Billy Barton - Fuzzy Owen)
 
 
 
 Dear John, oh, how I hate to write
 
 Dear John, I must let you know tonight
 
 That my love for you has died the way 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 you that my love for you has gone
 
 But tonight I wed your brother, dear John.
 
 
 
 And tonight I wed another, dear John...
