Dolly Parton - Down from Dover Lyrics

Lyrics Down from Dover - Dolly Parton




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
Over 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
At 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 (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
That everything' would be alright
'Cause soon he would be coming down from Dover (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 couldn'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
Oh, he'll be coming down from Dover (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
And dying was her way of telling me
He wasn't coming down from Dover (Dover)
From Dover (Dover)
From Dover
