Dear John (I Sent Your Saddle Home) — текст песни (John Prine)

(vocals by John Prine)

When I woke up this morning
There was a note upon my door
Saying " Don`t make me no coffee, Babe
Cause I won`t be back no more"

And that`s all she wrote
"Dear John", I sent your saddle home"

Now Jonah got along in the belly of a whale
Daniel in the lion`s den
I know a guy that didn`t try to get along
And he won`t get a chance again

That`s all she wrote
"Dear John", I sent your saddle home"

She didn`t forward no address
No she never said goodbye
All she said was "If you get blue
Just hang your little head and cry"

That`s all she wrote
"Dear John", I sent your saddle home"

Now my gal`s short and stubby
She`s mean as she can be
If that little old gal of mine
Ever gets a hold of me

That`s all she wrote
"Dear John", I fetched your saddle home"

Went down to the bank this morning
The cashier said with a grin
I`m sorry for you Little John
But your wife has done been in

That`s all she wrote
"Dear John", I sent your saddle home"

That`s all she wrote
"Dear John", I sent your saddle home"
