Down From Dover

I know this dress I'm wearing doesn't hide the secret I have tried concealing
                                                     C    G        D
When he left he promised me that he'd be back by the time it was revealing
    C                                                                    D
The sun behind a cloud just casts the crawling shadow O'er the fields of clover
                                   C                  G               D
And time is running out for me; I wish that he would hurry down from Dover
and I’ve been gone so long when I left the snow was deep upon the ground
She has seen the spring and summer come and now the leaves are turning brown
Ant any time a tiny face will show itself, the waiting's almost over
But she won't have a name to give it if I don't hurry down from Dover
My folks weren't understanding when they found out; they sent me from the home place
My daddy said if folks found out he'd be ashamed to ever show his face
My momma said I was a fool, she did not believe it when I told her
That everything would be alright for soon he would be coming down from Dover

She loved me more than anything, she could not refuse me when I needed her
                                                C#           G#    D#
She was the only one I'd loved and she did not believe that I was using her
   C#                                                                  D#
He couldn't leave me here like this, Oh!, no, it can't be so, it can't be over
                                            C#             G#        D#
I wouldn't make me go through this alone, Oh, I will be coming down from Dover
