Down From Dover - Lee Hazlewood Lyrics - Nancy Sinatra

I know this dress I'm wearing doesn't hide the secret I've 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 

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, from Dover, 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 mamma said I was a fool, she did not believe it when I told her 

Momma, everything's gonna be all right 'cause soon he would be coming down from Dover

I found a place to stay out on a farm takin' care of that old lady 

She never asked me nuthin' so I never talked to her about my baby 

I sent a messgae to my mom with a name and address of Ms. 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 usin' 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 alone, he'll be coming down from Dover

My body aches the time is here it's lonely in this place where I'm lying 

Our baby has been born, but something's wrong, it's too still, I hear no crying 

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 tellin' me he wasn't coming down from Dover, from Dover, from Dover 

Down from Dover
