Dear John — текст песни (John Prine)

(vocals by john prine)



When I woke up this morning

There was a note upon my door

Saying " dont make me no coffee, babe

Cause I wont be back no more"



And thats all she wrote

"dear john", I sent your saddle home"



Now jonah got along in the belly of a whale

Daniel in the lions den

I know a guy that didnt try to get along

And he wont get a chance again



Thats all she wrote

"dear john", I sent your saddle home"



She didnt forward no address

No she never said goodbye

All she said was "if you get blue

Just hang your little head and cry"



Thats all she wrote

"dear john", I sent your saddle home"



Now my gals short and stubby

Shes mean as she can be

If that little old gal of mine

Ever gets a hold of me



Thats all she wrote

"dear john", I fetched your saddle home"



Went down to the bank this morning

The cashier said with a grin

Im sorry for you little john

But your wife has done been in



Thats all she wrote

"dear john", I sent your saddle home"



Thats all she wrote

"dear john", I sent your saddle home"
