Jean Shepard Ferlin Husky (1953) FORGIVE ME, JOHN Forgive me, John but I don t love your brother I realize now that you re the only one Write and tell me dear, that you ll still have me If I undo the awful wrong I ve done I ll try to answer your letter the best that I know how The way I feel about you, honey, really doesn t matter now As you know, the boys will be coming home soon To be with their wives and their Maw and Paw I d like to come home, I d like to see you As a wife, but not as a sisterinlaw You re asking me to do something I can t do It s hard to explain, but can t you see My brother loves you, I reckon as much as I do And he married you, and I could never do him like he done me But I wish you happiness forever May you make him a true and loving wife There s nothing for me to come home for now So I ll reenlist and live my lonely soldier s life
