This is a story about Billy and Sue They were in love as any other two But Billy had to die And when you hear the reason why You'll hang your head and cry Billy and Sue met the first day of school And ever since lived by the golden rule When you do unto others What you wouldn't want done to you You'd have to be a fool Mutual agreement led to love and trust They would travel the road to marriage or bust But when Billy was old enough to take a wife He was old enough to fight for his country And his way of life Sue's letters came every day Gave him the strength to show him the way To fight for his country and the girl he loved That's a soldier's only fate Then Billy heard no word from Sue He was worried sick but what could he do The bullets were flying as he hugged the ground and back home Sue was running round Billy was growing less and less strong His hope his faith was almost gone Then like a miracle a letter appeared Billy tore the letter open and he read Dear John A look came over Billy that would scare a ghost Familiar look seen on soldiers coast to coast Even though the air was filled with lead Billy jumped up They shot him dead Billy was buried in a faraway grave that read For his country his life he gave But the epitaph was only a part He didn't die from a bullet but he died From a broken heart
