A 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
