Year: 1965 Album: Tunes for Two
(also released on the re-issued Here's The Answer)

Great duet of Skeeter Davis and Bobby Bare!
More of Skeeter can be found in my channel.

Lyric:
[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 ye that my love for you has gone
But tonight I wed your brother dear John

[Skeeter]
And tonight I wed another dear John.

    There was a comedy version of this song done many years ago. It ended "I have married your father. Love, Mother." Anyone remember who did that version?

    Very sad song. To think that girls actually sent Dear John letters to guys who were fighting in a war. How cruel....
