Down From Dover

D                           
I know this dress I'm wearing 
          C               G       
doesn't hide the secret I have 
     D
tried concealing
When he left he promised me that 
                    C    G    
he'd be back by the time it was 
    D
revealing
    C                            
The sun behind a cloud just casts 
the crawling shadow O'er the fields 
    D
of clover
And time is running out for me; I 
 C                  G             
wish that he would hurry down from
  D
 Dover

and I’ve been gone so long when I 
left the snow was deep upon the 
ground

She has seen the spring and summer 
come and now the leaves are turning 
brown
Ant any time a tiny face will show 
itself, the waiting's almost over
But she won't have a name to give it
 if I don't hurry down from Dover

My folks weren't understanding when 
they found out; they sent me from 
the home place
My daddy said if folks found out 
he'd be ashamed to ever show his 
face
My momma said I was a fool, she did 
not believe it when I told her
That everything would be alright for
 soon he would be coming down from 
Dover

She loved me more than anything, 
   C#          G#             
she could not refuse me when I 
D#
needed her
She was the only one I'd loved and 
             C#           G#    
she did not believe that I was using
D#
 her
   C#                              
He couldn't leave me here like 
this, Oh!, no, it can't be so, it 
  D#
can't be over
I wouldn't make me go through this 
         C#             G#     
alone, Oh, I will be coming down 
   D#
from Dover
