This is the story about Billy and Sue 
They were in love as were any two 
And yet 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 
Because when you do unto others 
What you wouldn't want done to you 
You have to be a fool 

This mutual agreement of love and trust 
Made them travel the road to marriage or bust 
And when Billy was old enough to take a wife 
He was old enough to fight for his country 
And it's way of life 

Sue's letters came everyday 
Strengthened his cause 
They showed him the way 
To fight for his country and the girl he loved 
That's the soldier's only pay 

But then Billy heard no more from Sue 
He was worried sick but what could he do 
The bullets were screaming as he hugged the ground 
And back home 
Sue was running 'round 

Billy was getting less and less strong 
His hopeless faith was almost gone 
And then like a miracle a letter appeared 
Billy tore open and he read 
"Dear John" 

A look came over Billy that would scare a ghost 
A familiar look on soldiers from coast to coast 
And 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 that epitaph was only in part 
He didn't die from a bullet 
But he died from a broken heart.
