V.  BACK ON A FARM IN TENNESSEE
      JOHNNY MET BECKY LEE
      HE GOT DOWN ON ONE KNEE
      SAID, BECKY WILL YOU MARRY ME
      SHE ANSWERED YES, WITH A SMILE
      THAT STRAIGHTENED OUT A COUNTRY MILE

V.  JOHNNY WORKED THE FIELDS NIGHT AND DAY
      PLANTING CORN AND BAILING HAY
      BECKY KNEW PLAIN AS WHITE AND BLACK
      HOW TO KEEP JOHNNY COMING BACK
      SHE LEFT A DEAR JOHN ON HIS JOHN DEERE

CHORUS     SHE LEFT A DEAR JOHN ON HIS JOHN DEERE
                  IT SAID, I’M LONELY WAITING FOR YOU ONLY
                  AND IF YOU HURRY, YOU WON’T BE SORRY
                  I’LL GIVE YOU MORE DEAR, THAN YOU CAN HANDLE
                  JOHNNY WAS READY, SHE LEFT A DEAR JOHN ON HIS JOHN DEERE

V.  LIFE ON THE FARM IS HARD TO TAKE
      IT’LL WEAR YOU DOWN AND DOUBLE YOUR AGE
      BUT BECKY KEEPS THEM YOUNG AT HEART
      LET’S JOHNNY KNOW WHEN THEY’RE APART
      SHE LEFT A DEAR JOHN ON HIS JOHN DEERE

CHORUS     SHE LEFT A DEAR JOHN ON HIS JOHN DEERE
                  IT SAID, I’M LONELY WAITING FOR YOU ONLY
                  AND IF YOU HURRY, YOU WON’T BE SORRY
                  I’LL GIVE YOU MORE DEAR, THAN YOU CAN HANDLE
                  JOHNNY WAS READY, SHE LEFT A DEAR JOHN ON HIS JOHN DEERE
