Verse 1
C
Bb
I know this dress I'm wearing doesn't hide
F
C
the secret I have tried concealing
When he left he promised me that he'd be
Bb
Csus4
F
C
back by the time it was revealing
F
The sun behind the cloud just cast a crawling
And time is running out for me,
Bb
Csus4
F
I wish that he would hurry down from
C
Dover
He has been gone so long,
Bb
Csus4
F
C
when he left the snow was deep on the ground
Bb
And I have seen a spring and summer pass,
Csus4
F
C
and now the leaves are turning brown
F
At any time a tiny face will show itself as waiting,
Csus4
But I won't have a name to give it if
F
C
he doesn't hurry down from
Dover
Bb
My folks weren't understanding when they found
Csus4
F
C
out they sent me from the home place
My daddy said if folks found out he'd
Csus4
C
be ashamed to ever show his face
That everything would be alright,
Bb
Csus4
F
cause soon he would be coming down from
C
Dover
I loved him more than anything,
Bb
Csus4
F
C
and I could not refuse him when he needed me.
He was the only one I'd loved,
Bb
Csus4
F
C
and I just can't believe that he was using me.
Bb
He wouldn't make me go through this alone,
Csus4
F
C
or he'll be coming down from
Dover
My body aches, the time is near,
Csus4
C
It's lonely in this place where I'm lying.
Our baby has been born,
And dying was her way of telling me
Csus4
F
C
he wasn't coming down from
Dover
From
Dover,
From
Dover
