| I never thought I’d ever be one
|
| To get a Dear John letter
|
| It sure can make a body feel untogether
|
| I read it through then I read it once more
|
| Lord, I thought I was dyin
|
| Dropped the letter to the floor
|
| Caught my head in my hands and I cried
|
| You don’t know how I cried
|
| I went to see my doctor
|
| Told my doctor, doctor you got to help me
|
| This hurtin' in my heart’s been
|
| 'Round since my darlin' left me
|
| He said, son, I can cure your blues
|
| I can give you pills if you want me to
|
| But there really ain’t nothin' I can do
|
| For your kind of trouble
|
| My luck ain’t been too good
|
| The other day you know a mad dog bit me
|
| I stopped to help a lady on the street
|
| And her husband hit me
|
| Don’t nothin' seem to make much sense to me
|
| My whole world’s gone crazy
|
| I guess it’s just a lesson
|
| Another lesson of the pains of love
|

| Well, it must be a lesson
|
