[Verse 1]
When I woke up this mornin'
There was a note upon my door
Said, "Don't make me no coffee, babe
A-cause I won't be home no more"
And that's all she wrote ("Dear John")
"I've sent your saddle home"

[Verse 2]
Now my gal's short and stubby
Strong as she can be
But if that little old gal of mine
Ever get's a-hold of me
Well, that's all she wrote, ("Dear John")
"I've sent your saddle home"

[Verse 3]
Now, Jonah got along in the belly of the whale
Daniel in the lion's den
But I know a man who didn't try to get along
And hе won't get a chance again
And that's all she wrotе, ("Dear John")
"I've sent your saddle home"

[Verse 4]
I went to the bank this morning
And the cashier said with a grin
"I feel so sorry for you, Skeets
But your wife has done been in"
And that's all she wrote, ("Dear John")
"I've sent your saddle home"
[Outro]
And that's all she wrote, ("Dear John")
("I've sent your saddle home")
(Home)
(Home)
(Home)
