A dear John letter (給約翰的一封信)

A dear John letter已經是分手批的代名詞了，但是聽了一二十年還是不知道為什是約翰？
不是Tom、Michael、Joe.......為什麼是John？

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
He handed me a letter
And I was as happy as I could be
Cause the fighting was all over
And the battles they'd all be won
But then I opened up that letter
And it stated Dear John(*)

Won't you please send back my picture
My husband wants it now
Won't you please send back my picture?
My husband wants it now.
When I tell you who I'm wedding,
you won't care, do you anyhow?
And it hurts me so to tell you that my love for you is gone.
But tonight I wed your brother, dear John
