V.    Back on a farm in Tennessee
      Johnny met sweet Becky Lee
      Johnny got down on one knee
      Said, Becky will you marry me
      She answered yes with just a smile
      You could hear Johnny holler for a country mile

V.    Johnny worked the fields night and day
      Planting corn and bailing hay
      And Beck knew plain as white and black
      How to keep Johnny comin' back
      Every morning before the sun comes up
      She leaves him a note from her Book of Love

CHORUS     She leaves a Dear John on his John Deere
           Says, my heart is achin',  my bodies cravin'               
           More of your lovin',  don't keep me waitin' 
           There's more for you, dear,  I'm contemplatin'
           Well, she had Johnny, at Dear John

                                                            
 V.     Life on the farm's hard work everyday                    
        It'll wear you down, and double your age
        But Becky keeps them young at heart
        By reminding Johnny when they're apart
        Before the rooster crows and the sun comes up
        Becky leaves him a note from her Book of Love     

CHORUS
