Dear John (Acetate version 12) (2019 - Remaster) Songtext
von Hank Williams

Dear Johnny, I′ve sent your saddle home
It will be there COD
Let's go

Now, 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, Jonah got along in the belly of the whale
Daniel in the lions′ den
I know a man he 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
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)
I′ve sent your saddle home

I like this, my gal's short and stubby
She′s strong as she can be
And if that little old gal of mine
Ever gets a hold of me
And that's all she wrote (dear John)
I′ve sent your saddle home

And, Jonah got along in the belly of the whale
Daniel in the lion's den
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 fetch your saddle home


Johnny, here is your riding equipment
Eh, my band might not be so good but I really have got a choir
Oh, we′ve got the male chorus
