Dear John (Acetate version 10) (2019 - Remaster) Songtext
von Hank Williams

We got a number here to start things off with
We just uh, put this one on the record, just been released
Anybody care to have it you can purchase it
Called, "Dear John your saddle will be home in the morning" huh

Well when I woke up this mornin′
There was a note upon my door
It said don't make me no coffee babe
′Cause I won't be home 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 lion′s den
But 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 sent your saddle home


No, 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

Now 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
That'll be all she wrote (dear John)
I′ve sent your saddle home

Now Jonah got along in the belly of the whale
Daniel in the lion's den
But 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 sent 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 was all she wrote (dear John)
I've fetched your saddle home


I′ve sent your saddle home
Sent your saddle home, ain′t got no horse but got the saddle
Got the saddle
