I know this dress I'm wearing doesn't hide the
secret I have tried concealing When he left he
promised me he'd be back by the time it was
revealing The sun behind a cloud just casts the
crawling shadow o'er the fields of clover And time
is running out for me I wish that he would hurry
down from Dover

He's been gone so long when he left the snow was
deep upon the ground And I have seen a spring and
summer pass and now the leaves are turning brown
And any time a tiny face will show itself cause
waiting's almost over But I won't have a name to
give it if he doesn't hurry down from Dover From
Dover from Dover

My folks weren't understanding when they found out
they sent me from the homeplace My daddy said if
folks found out he'd be ashamed to ever show his
face My mama said I was a fool and she did not
believe it when I told her Mama everything's gonna
be alright cause soon he'll be coming down from
Dover

I found a place to stay out on a farm taking care
of that old lady She never asked me nothing so I
never talked to her about my baby I sent a messgae
to my mom with a name and address of Miss ol'
Grover And to make sure he got that information
when he came down from Dover

I loved him more than anything and I could not
refuse him when he needed me He was the only one
I'd loved and I just can't believe that he was
using me He wouldn't leave me here like this I
know it can't be so it can't be over He wouldn't
make me go through this so long he'll be coming
down from Dover

My body aches the time is here it's lonely in this
place where I'm a lyin' Our baby has been born but
something's wrong it's too still I hear no cryin'
I guess in some strange way she knew she'd never
have a father's arms to hold her So dying was her
way of telling me he wasn't coming down from Dover
From Dover from Dover down from Dover from Dover
