Verse 1
(D major) (Asus4) (D major) (C major) (Dolly Par (D major) ton)
Verse 2
I know this dress I'm wearing doesn't (C major) hide
the secret (B minor) I've tried (D major) concealing (Asus4) (D major) (C major)
When he (D major) left he promised me he'd be (C major) back
by the (B minor) time it was re (D major) vealing (Asus4) (D major)
The sun (C major) behind a cloud just casts the crawling
shadow o'er the field (D major) s of clover (Asus4) (D major) (C major)
And (D major) time is running out for me,
I (C major) wish that he would (G major) hurry down from (D major) Dover (Asus4) (D major) (C major)
He's (D major) been gone so long,
when he (C major) left the snow was (G major) deep upon (D major) the ground (Asus4) (D major) (C major)
And (D major) I have seen a spring and summer pass (C major) and
now the leaves (G major) are turn (D major) ing brown (Asus4) (D major)
At (C major) any time a tiny face will show itself
'cause waiting's al (D major) most over
But I won't have a name to give it (C major) if he doesn't (G major) hurry down (B minor) from (D major) Dover,
from Dover, from (Asus4) (D major) Dover (C major)

Verse 3
My folk (D major) s weren't understanding,
when they found (C major) out they sen (B minor) t me from (D major) the home place (Asus4) (D major) (C major)
(D major) My daddy said if folks found out he'd (C major) be
ashamed to (G major) ever show his (D major) (Asus4) face (D major)
My (C major) mamma said I was a fool,
she did not believe it when I (D major) told (Asus4) her (D major) (C major)
Momma, (D major) everything's gonna be all right 'cause (C major) soon
he would be coming (G major) down from (D major) Dover
I found a place to stay out on a farm takin' care of that old lady
She never asked me nuthin'
Verse 4
so I never (D major)
talked to her about my baby
I sent a messgae to my mom with a name
and address of Ms. ol' (E flat major) Grover
And to make sure he got that information
when he came down from Dover
Verse 5
I loved (E flat major) him more than anything and I (D flat major) could
not re (A flat major) fuse him when (E flat major) he needed me
He was the only one I'd loved and (D flat major) I just
can't believe (A flat major) that he was (E flat major) usin' me
He (D flat major) wouldn't leave me here like this,
I know it can't be so, it can (E flat major) 't be over (B flatsus4) (E flat major)
He wouldn't make me go through this alone, (D flat major)
he'll (A flat major) be coming down (E flat major) from Dover (B flatsus4) (E flat major) (B flatsus4)
Verse 6
My (E flat major) body aches the time is here it's (D flat major) lonely in
this (A flat major) place where I'm (E flat major) lying (B flatsus4) (E flat major)
Our baby has been born, but something's (D flat major) wrong,
it's (A flat major) too still, I (E flat major) hear no crying
I guess (D flat major) in some strange way she knew she'd
never have a father's arms to (E flat major) hold her
So dying was her way of tellin' (D flat major) me he wasn't (A flat major) coming down from (E flat major) Dover,
from Dover, from Dover
Down from (D flat major) (A flat major) Dover
Outro 1
(E flat major)
