Testo Dear John John Prine
(vocals by john prine)
When I woke up this morning
There was a note upon my door
Saying " donât make me no coffee, babe
Cause I wonât be back no more"
And thatâs all she wrote
"dear john", I sent your saddle home"
Now jonah got along in the belly of a whale
Daniel in the lionâs den
I know a guy that didnât try to get along
And he wonât get a chance again
Thatâs all she wrote
"dear john", I sent your saddle home"
She didnât forward no address
No she never said goodbye
All she said was "if you get blue
Just hang your little head and cry"
Thatâs all she wrote
"dear john", I sent your saddle home"
Now my galâs short and stubby
Sheâs mean as she can be
If that little old gal of mine
Ever gets a hold of me
Thatâs all she wrote
"dear john", I fetched your saddle home"
Went down to the bank this morning
The cashier said with a grin
Iâm sorry for you little john
But your wife has done been in
Thatâs all she wrote
"dear john", I sent your saddle home"
Thatâs all she wrote
"dear john", I sent your saddle home"
