(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      That's all she wrote   "dear john", I sent your saddle home"      That's all she wrote   "dear john", I sent your saddle home"
