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



(Billy Barton - Jean Shepard)

Jean Sheppard & Ferlin Husky



Forgive me John but I don't love your brother

I realize now that you're the only one

Write and tell me dear that you'll still have me if I am blue

For the awful wrong I've done.



I've tried to answer your letter the best that I know how

The way I feel about you honey really doesn't matter now

As you know the boys will be coming home soon

To be with their wives and their mas and pas I'd like to come home

I'd like to see you as a wife but not as a sister-in-law.



Forgive me John but I don't love your brother

I realize now that you're the only one

Write and tell me dear that you'll still have me if I am blue

For the awful wrong I've done.



You're asking me to do somethin' I can't do

It's hard to explain but can't you see my brother loves you

I reckon as much as I do and he married you

And I could never do him what he done me

But I wish you happiness forever may you make him a true and lovin' wife

There's nothing for me to come home for now

So I'll read your list and live my lonely soldier's life...
