(Skeeter)
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.

(Bobby)
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 you that my love for you has gone
But tonight I wed your brother, dear John.

(Skeeter)
And tonight I wed another, dear John.
This song is from the album "Tunes for Two (w Bobby Bare) (RCA Victor)", "20 Of The Best" and "You Were Made for Me (w Teddy Nelson) (Atlantic)".
