0:09Dear John Oh how I hate to write
0:17Dear John I must let you know tonight
0:27That my love for you
0:30Has died away like grass upon the lawn
0:36And tonight I wed another Dear John
0:45I was overseas in battle
0:49When the postman came to me
0:53And he handed me a letter
0:57I was happy as I could be
1:02For the fighting was all over
1:05And the battle had been won
1:10Then I opened up the letter
1:14And it started "Dear John "
1:18Dear John Oh how I hate to write
1:27Dear John I must let you know tonight
1:37That my love for you has died away
1:41Like grass upon the lawn
1:45And tonight I wed another Dear John
1:55Will you please send back my picture
1:59My husband wants it now
2:04When I tell you who I'm wedding
2:07You won't care dear anyhow
2:12Now the ceremony has started
2:16And I'll wed your brother Don
2:20Will you wish us happiness forever Dear John
