I know this dress I'm wearing doesn't hide the secret I have tried concealing

When he left he promised me that 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
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
