Dear John

[Verse 1] 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" [Refrain] And that's all she wrote "Dear John I've sent your saddle home" [Verse 2] Now Jonah got along in the belly of the whale Daniel in the lion's den But I know a guy that didn't try to get along And he won't get a chance again [Refrain] And that's all she wrote "Dear John I've fetched your saddle home" [Verse 3] Well, 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" [Refrain] And that's all she wrote "Dear John I've sent your saddle home" [Verse 4] Now my gal's short and stubby She's strong as she can be But if that little old gal of mine Ever get's ahold of me [Refrain] That's all she wrote "Dear John I've sent your saddle home" [Verse 2] Now Jonah got along in the belly of the whale Daniel in the lion's den But I know a man that didn't try to get along And he won't get a chance again [Refrain] And that's all she wrote "Dear John I've fetched your saddle home" [Verse 5] 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" [Refrain] And that's all she wrote "Dear John I've sent your saddle home"
