A DEAR JOHN LETTER
Dear John, oh how I hate to write
Dear John, I must let you know tonight
That my love for you has died away like grass upon the lawn
And tonight I wed another, Dear John
I was overseas in battle when the postman came to me
And he handed me a letter, I was as happy as I could be
For the fighting was all over and the battle had been won
Then I opened up the letter and it started "Dear John..."
Will you please send back my picture, my husband wants it now
When I tell you who I'm wedding, you won't care dear, anyhow
Now the ceremony has started and I'll wed your brother, Don
Will you wish us happiness forever, Dear John

I grew up in a poor Polish family of 15 in South Chicago, and when I met my husband he had just gotten back from Viet Nam. The Chinese Asians shot off his testicle, the hookworms infested his body, the malaria almost killed him, the government sprayed him and the other US Marines with Agent Orange, a horrible poison, he suffered from Shell Shock Syndrome and nightmares when he got back. Also drinking, drugging, gambling, womanizing. While in Nam, his girlfriend sent him "Dear John" letter. R.I.P

The hook, at the end of the song, may be the most powerful one in music.
