Artist/Band: Jean Shepard
Lyrics for Song: Dear John Letter
Lyrics for Album: The Best of Jean Shepard [1963]



(Billy Barton - Lewis Talley - Fuzzy Owen)

Jean Sheppard & Ferlin Husky



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

And he handed me a letter and I was just as happy as I could be

For the fighting was all over and the battle have been won

Then I opened up the letter and it's 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 away like grass upon the lawn

And tonight I wed another, dear John.



Will 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 wed your brother Don

Would you wishes happiness forever, dear John...
