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

Verse 2
folks weren't understanding,
when they found (G major) out they sen (D major) t me from the home (A major) place (G major) (A major) (G major)
(A major) My daddy said if folks found out he'd be
(G major) ashamed to (D major) ever show (A major) his face
My (G major) mamma said I was a fool,
she did not believe it when (A major) I told her
Momma, (G major) (A major) everything's gonna be all right 'cause soon (G major)
he would be com (D major) ing down from (F major) Dover
Verse 3
I found a place to stay out on (F major) (B flat major) a farm takin'
care of that old lady
She never asked me nuthin' so I (E flat major) nev er talked
to her about my baby
I sent a messgae to my mom with a name
(B flat major) and address of Ms. ol' Grover
And to make sure he got that information
(E flat major) when he came down from Dover
(Fsus4) I loved
Verse 4
(B flat major) him more than anything and (A flat major) I could (B flatsus4) not
re (E flat major) fuse him when he needed (B flat major) me (Fsus4) (B flat major)
He was the only one I'd loved and I just
(E flat major) can't believe that he was usin' (B flat major) me (E flat major) (B flat major)
He (A flat major) wouldn't leave me here like this, I know (E flat major) it can't be (E flat minor) so,
it can (B flat major) 't be over (Fsus4) (B flat major) (E flat major)
He would (B flat major) n't make me go through this alone, (A flat major)
he'll be com (E flat major) ing down from (B flat major) Dover (E flat major) (B flat major)
Verse 5
(B flat major) My body aches the time is here it's (A flat major) lonely in
this place (E flat major) where I'm (B flat major) lying (A flat major) (E flat major) (B flat major) (A flat major)
Our baby (B flat major) has been born, but something's (E flat major) wrong, (A flat major)
it's too still, (E flat major) I hear no (B flat major) crying (A flat major) (E flat major) (B flat major)
(A flat major) I guess in some strange way she knew she'd
(E flat major) never have a (E flat minor) father's arm (B flat major) s to hold her
(Fsus4) So (B flat major) (Fsus4) (B flat major) dying was her way of tellin' me (A flat major) he wasn't (E flat major) coming down from Dover,
from (F major) Dover, (B flat major) (F minor) (B flat major) (E flat major) from (B flat major) (F minor) Dover (B flat major)
(B flat minor) (D flat major) (B flat minor)
Down from (B flat major) (F minor) Dover
