Dear John

Written by：Aubrey Gass/Gass/Tex Ritte

Well when I woke up this mornin'

There was a note upon my door

Said don't make me no coffee babe

'Cause I won't be back no more

And that's all she wrote

Dear John

I've sent your saddle home

Now Jonh got along in the belly of the whale

Daniel in the lions den

But I know a guy that didn't try to get along

And he won't get a chance again

And that's all she wrote

Dear John

I've fetched your saddle home

Now she didn't forward no address

Nor she didn't say goodbye

All she said was if you get blue

Just hang your little head and cry

An' that's all she wrote

Dear John

I've sent your saddle home

Now my gal's short and stubby

She's strong as she can be

But if that little old gal of mine

Ever gets a hold of me

That's all she wrote

Dear John

I've sent your saddle home

Now Jonh got along in the belly of the whale

Daniel in the lions den

But I know a man that didn't try to get along

And he won't get a chance again

And that's all she wrote

Dear John

I've fetched your saddle home

Now I went down to the bank this morning

The cashier said with a grin

I feel so sorry for you hank

But your wife has done been in

And that's all she wrote

Dear John

I've sent your saddle home
