Down from Dover |
| I know this dress I’m wearing doesn’t hide the secret I have tried concealing |
| When he left he promised me that he’d be back by the time it was revealing |
| The sun behind a cloud just casts the crawling shadow o’er the fields of clover |
| And the time is running out for me I wish that he would hurry down from Dover |
| He’s been gone so long when he left the show was deep upon the ground |
| And I have seen a spring and summer pass and now the leaves are turning brown |
| And any time a tiny face will show itself 'cause waiting’s almost over |
| But I won’t have a name to give it if he doesn’t hurry down from Dover |
| My folks weren’t understanding when they found out they sent me from the home |
| place |
| My daddy if folks found out he’d be ashamed to ever show his face |
| My mamma said I was a fool and she did not believe it when I told her |
| That everything would be all right 'cause soon he would be coming down from |
| Dover |
| I loved him more than anything and I could not refuse him when he needed me He was the only one I'd loved and I just can't believe that he was using me He couldn't leave me here like this I know it can |
| 't be so it can't be over |
| He wouldn’t make me go through this so long, oh he’ll be coming down from Dover |
| My body aches the time is here it’s lonely in this place where I’m lyin' |
| Out baby has been born but something’s wrong it’s much too still I hear no cryin' |
| I guess in some strange way she knew she’d never have a father’s arms to hold |
| her |
| And dying was her way of telling me he wasn’t coming down from Dover |
