[00:09.43]Dear John Oh how I hate to write

[00:43.70]
[00:45.28]I was overseas in battle

[00:51.45]
[00:53.81]And he handed me a letter
[00:55.76]
[00:57.41]I was happy as I could be
[00:59.87]

[01:03.99]
[01:05.76]And the battle had been won
[01:07.68]
[01:10.23]Then I opened up the letter
[01:11.82]
[01:14.09]And it started "Dear John "
[01:16.65]
