D
I know this dress I'm wearing
C G D C G/B CDoesn't hide the secret I have tried concealing
When he left he promised me that he'd be back
G D C G/B CBy the time it was revealing
GThe sun behind a cloud just casts the crawling shadow
O'er the fields of clover
DAnd time is running out for me
C G D C G/B CI wish that he would hurry down from Dover
D C
He's been gone so long when he left
The snow was deep upon the ground
D CAnd I have seen a spring and summer pass
G D C G/B CAnd now the leaves are turning brown
And any time a tiny face will show itself
D C G/B CCause waiting's almost over
DBut 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
G D C G/B CThey sent me from the home place
DMy daddy said if folks found out
He'd be ashamed to ever show his face
GMy momma said I was a fool
D C G/B CAnd she did not believe it when I told her
Momma everythings gonna be alright
C G D C G/B CSoon he would be coming down from Dover
D C
I found a place to stay out on a farm
G D C G/B CTakin care of an old lady
She never asked me nothin
C G D C G/B CSo I never talked to her about my baby
GI send a message to my mom
With a name an address of Mrs. Elma Grover
D CAnd to make sure he got that information
G D C G/B CWhen he came down from Dover
(capo 1)
I loved him more than anything
C G D C G/B CAnd I could not refuse him when he needed me
DHe was the only one I'd loved
And I just can't believe that he was using me
GHe couldn't leave me here like this
D C G/B CI know it can't be so it can't be over
He wouldn't make me go through this alone
G D C G/B CHe'll be coming down from Dover
D
My body aches the time is here
C G D C G/B CIt's lonely in this place where I'm lyin'
Our baby has been born but something's wrong
G D C G/B CIt's much too still I hear no cryin'
GI guess in some strange way she knew
She'd never have a father's arms to hold her
D CAnd dying was her way of telling me
G D C G/B CHe wasn't coming down from Dover
