Lyrics
Find another songI 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 the cloud just casts the crawling shadow
Over the fields of clover
And time is running out for me, I wish
That he would hurry down from Dover
I've been gone so long
When I left, the snow was deep upon the ground
She has seen a spring and summer coming
Now the leaves are turning brown
And any time a tiny phase 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 mama said I was a fool
She did not believe it when I told her
That everything would be all right
Soon he will be coming down from Dover
She loved me more than anything
She could not refuse me when I needed her
She was the only one I loved and
She did not believe that I was using her
He couldn't leave me here like this
So know it can't be so, it can't be over
I wouldn't let her go through this alone
No, I'll be coming down from Dover
And my body aches, the time is here
It's lonely in this place where I'm lying
Our baby has been born, but something's wrong
It's much too still, I hear no crying
I guess in some strange way
She knew she'd never have a father's arm to hold her
And that was a way of telling me
He wasn't coming down from Dover
