Dear John
Recorded by Hank Williams
Written by Aubrey Gass and Tex Ritter

C
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
     G7               C
I've sent your saddle home


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

And that's all she wrote Dear John
     G7                  C
I've fetched your saddle home


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

And that's all she wrote Dear John
     G7               C
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

And that's all she wrote Dear John
     G7                  C
I've fetched your saddle home

Repeat #2


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
     G7               C
I've sent your saddle home
