Dear John (i've Sent Your Saddle Home) Lyrics - 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 

Photos 

That's all she wrote 

"Dear John", I sent your saddle home" 

That's all she wrote 

"Dear John", I sent your saddle home"
