A Dear John Letter

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 lawn¹. And tonight I wed² another, dear John.
    I was overseas³ 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 had all been won. But then I opened up that letter and it 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, do you anyhow? And it hurts me so to tell you that my love for you is gone. But tonight I wed your brother, dear John.
