Lyrics
John Mason Whitney III
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I was stationed in San Diego so homesick and alone
So one day I went down to a bookstore in town
And I bought a paper from home
Took it back to the base to read it and it suddenly felt like led
Cause halfway through I saw a picture of you
And by your picture it said
Mr and Mrs Harrison Carter are pleased to pass the word
Of the forthcoming marriage of their daughter Judy
To John Mason Whitney III
So I put in for a furlough I just had to get home in time
Why I couldn't let this John steal away the one
The one that's supposed to be mine
But my thumb just couldn't get me here quite fast enough somehow
If it could have don't you see I probably wouldn't be
Reading what I'm reading now
Mr and Mr Harrison Carter are pleased to pass the word
Of the recent marriage of their daughter Judy
To John Mason Whitney III John Mason Whitney III
