Justin Tubb – John Mason Whitney Iii lyrics

(Justin Tubb)

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 lead
'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 Mrs. 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...
